2sk135/2sj50 amp schematic?

There were a lot of amps designed around that family of transistors in the '80s. If you have access to electronics hobby magazine back issues you should find a few different designs. I don't remember any being singled out for sound quality. [An amp by H.J. Heckert, reprinted in Audio Amateur, used a bunch in parallel to do 550 watts into 4 ohms. I always thought that would be a nice subwoofer amp.] Googling with the transistor numbers and amplifier should turn something up.

On the other hand, the original transistors have been out of production a long time, so you might be better off selling them to people who need spares.
 
Magnum IA125 - output stage

decent sounding .... even if Iq was in range of few tents of mA

if you need more esoteric approach - try on Japanese sites

''I've got one of these. It's a fabulous amp.
Seeing this thread, I've dug out the original WW articles, June/July/August 1982.''

''Glad you got it fired up.
I must be honest, with my cloth ears, I can't tell my JLH96 apart from my JLHMOS82.
I can tell slight differences between my JLH69 and JLH96.
I do dig it out from time to time, but have not done so for a while.''

JLH69's words about one I revived, I had it first build in the 80's. I recommend it too. Very good amp. Never burned since first build.

The pcb is roughly 125X85mm. Note Q13 is drawn in reverse in the theoretical. 2SJ50's D goes to -V in reality.

That one I posted sports positive feedback too in an original way. Has a second reversed VAS that feeds back to the JFET tail & fb net. Also its compensation is very English. Uses a network back to the diff amp instead of an across Rf cap. Good amps all of those.
 
hi.my friend gave me 6pairs of 2sk135/2sj50 transistors.and i heard that theyre very good and low thd transistors also at low bias..does anyone have a good design?is it worth to build?

Here some webaddresses for lateral MOSFET schematics:

Now an "off topic" question from me:
I need some schematics from a brand of your country: the name is "Westsound"
please answer about this thread (address is complete mentioned), if you have informations:

Perhaps there is a pdf download aera about the websites of this manufacturer, but I don't find it. I am very happy, if you can call there to ask about the appropriate navigation advices.
 
yes its very similar to Nico Ras's RAS100 amp.i tried it it was sounding very good but suddenly burned.i didnt understand.my friend also built it and told same problem
The reason isn't the circuit itself. Basicly there are parasitic effects, that causes unwanted oscillation in the aera between 1MHz and 10MHz. This means sometimes, that the highest possible power supply current flows throught the MOSFETs (e. g. 10A at 100V supply voltage), even without connected load like a loudspeaker (in this case your amp is for few seconds a high power HF transmitter).

The trick is now to compensate these parasitic effects in such a way, so that the regarded amplifier may be no longer produce oscillation (also by complex load resistances) and on the other hand sonic quality does not suffer.

Even for professional developers not in all cases easy to perform independend of the circuit topology.

For this reason, "for do it yourself" such topologies to be preferred, that have relatively low values of internal open loop gain. Also helpful in some cases (unfortunately not in all cases) is the variation of the gate stopper resistor values.

hello salas

i ve seen the schematic and looks very nice since i have also many of these mosftes left ( spare parts in original state from C audio amps ) i was thinking may be i built it ....

question one ....how much is the power of this amp ..... my estimation is 140W @ 8R /sine /resistive /@ 1khz ( why it say 80-100 W i dont understand ...with 60 volt rails )

question two .... is this safe enough ???? i mean only 2pairs at 60 volts ???what happens in lower loads ???

regards sakis
