Mr. Mile,
I want to use it for 56V supplies.
Pl. let me know if the attached, based on your schematic, is ok.

For 56V use 30V zener, 24V rele and remove 1uF cap...

Mr. Mile,
Thanks. Here is a compact minimalist version of your softstart with 24V relay that can be placed between switch and trafo.

APEX EX14 simulation results

Hi Mile,

I simulated EX14 in ltspice. I can not get thd below 0.1%. I wonder why that is, any ideas? I will attach the ltspice sim file and the schematic printed page for review.
It is not the models, I use these models in other sims with good success. OPS bias is running at 55mA, driver stage is at 12mA. Just having the red led in the bias generator, would not provide enough OPS bias so I added a small R to get it to where it was reasonable.
Has anyone ever built this amp design?
Thx
Rick
