100W Ultimate Fidelity Amplifier

AX11 under....test!

suggestion how to do that power supply ?

35+35V main trafo, and adding a 12+12V or 15+15V trafo ?

Supose you confused.
If we say for Apex AX11 NOT HX11 rail voltage as Mr apex sai is +/-25 min to +/-50max.
In my AX11 i start to test it from +/-12v next to +/- 15v and finall to +/- 22v.It is the limit of my power supply.
Now i think is safe to operate AX11 with +/- 42v and test it again.
HX11 is another amplifier .

Hi Mr.
As i promise the AX11 is here today🙂
bf 872 instade of mpsa92 diferent base
2n6427 instade of mpsa13 same base
2sa1943
2sc5200 final out
Tested rail voltage +/- 23v from two stabilized power supplies
Thats for now ....coming soon on youtube!
For listening of cource.
Thanks Mr Apex.:cheers::cheers:
Pai attention ..in first two photos bd139 and bd140 wrong position!

Hi Mr Apex.
I think the increased supply voltage would have the effect of increasing the quiescent current but this did not happen.
With rail voltage +/-42v CURRENT is MINIMUM ,continues to be unmeasurable on 0.22r.
Where can we put a trimer on the attached shematics
?
Finally is my probleme because of the replecements parts?

Max bias voltage will be ~ Vbe * {1+3k3/2k2} ~ 2.5Vbe
But you have 4Vbe in the output stage.
Measure the bias voltage as you change the trimmer.
Measure the Vdrop of that 220r as you change the trimmer.

Now do you understand why the output bias is near zero and appears not to change?

Placing a trimmer 10k in place of 4k7 resistor of original shematic idle curent is controled and easy setting to 33mv on 0.22r emitter resistor but in this case idle current isn't stable and continuas rice .Vas transistors come very hot because of no temperature monitor by the current source?
 
I built AX-14, but I got 49VDC offset!!?? What is wrong or what could be the parts that are defective? 😕😕😕


Input GND is already connected to PSU GND.
