50w Single-Ended BAF2015 Schade Enabled

Hey

Well, while gathering parts, I "sit" and try to understand the hole circuit ;)

If one have to use ZM DC-servo suggestion/sim, one have to apply another psu, with 24vdc regulated ? or ? (See BAFxxx.pdf)

I will try to use some IRF250 in this circuit, hoping to end up with around 100watt pro channel (approximatly half the original circuit) -I like it around 100w, as i know my heatsinks can handle that.

I will try to figure out, which voltage/bias combination will fit my IRF250's.

Anyway, i don't understand why nobody really succeded in making this circuit work with a normal regulated psu ? - Anybody care to try to explain why ?

Rgds; Jesper.

All Burning Amp Festival Mr Pass talks is documented by writen article
with all topology refinements , schematics updates and build councils.
After Vfet Draft 2 article i can back to build CSX1 and Vfet DiyP2 because all circuit aspect is verified
that for me the best moment to start completed components and finaly diy amplifiers.
I BAF coverage thread Papa write us about 2SK77B and probably Schade Feedback 50W article is in preparation

Wind, sky and clouds
autumn is comming

let's run hot class A :) :redhot: BAF 2016

So were there any working baf2015 amps made without a servo circuit?

Of course. Note a couple things:

1) The amplifier must be driven by something with a resistive component
to its output impedance. That means that the source cannot be capacitively
coupled, or if it is, there is a resistor to ground after it. Otherwise the
amplifier will motor-boat.

2) The DC Drain voltage of the circuit's gain transistor is temperature
dependent, but it generally should be fairly stable if the heat sinking is
adequate - If it's not stable enough you can put a 5 or 10 watt 220 ohm
resistor from Drain to Source to stabilize it better. I don't think you need
the complexity of a servo.

:cool:

This is the schematic of the amp playing Cristobal Tapia de Veer as I type this post.

A simple point to point test with some devices bolted to a piece of 15 mm alu plate.

I am interested in this circuit. How did you go about making the 6.15V. Do you have a schematic of the 6.15V circuit? Does this circuit invert the signal? I have not followed this thread too much not needing all the power this build makes.

Reducted all servo components into one resistor...
can be simple but not simpler :rofl:

Motorboating would possibly have happened despite the servo.
The servo idea was a reaction on the the running away of the bias some people described.

Small variations in the gate biasing voltage produced big jumps in the drain current.

The servo was thought to be faster than the hand turning the trim pot

...:D:D:D
 
Does this mean a B1 and BA3 front end with their 10uF caps are not ideal with this amp?


Schade 50 have ready 20dB of gain by it self i was think we can play him with passive pre or maybe try autoformer volume control.

Do we need front end stage for hockey puck ?
Sit / Vfet pre amp for example Luminaria ?

My research is to preserve transparency and natural sound timbre quality.
