Babelfish ᄅſ....or FW J2 on Steroids .... or Not your Father's J2!

well , didn't had time yet to hear , maybe mid next week

though , more interesting Shade iteration already cooked so hardly I'll invest substantial time in pursuing this one

again , my main interest was full IRFP iteration , published on start of this thread - proper Poor Man J2
 
OK, I pulled the Trigger ....... Kits!

and invented (additional new) name , so here it is :

https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swa...-j2-steroids-fathers-j2-kits.html#post5942472 , .... also known as The Beast with a Thousand Names!

:clown:

to summarize amp options :

1.Full IRFP outputs - cheap and cheerful surrogate for J2

2.Semisouth down , IRFP up - spooky , insane , low THD

3.Full Semisouth outputs - Not your Father's J2! , same but different one

4. Full IRFP outputs , lower one in Shade connection - crazy Weakling , will investigate further how to make it sweeter and lesser Weakling

that's it for tonight , sleep well ........... 🙂

Perhaps that is because O.H. Schade does not like your misspell of his name. Gives you shady sound. :rofl:

Gut feeling, R126 has to be <330 or the amp is only good for grandads. R128/R126 ratio could be between 30 - 200. 🙂
 
it's funny which way brain can blimp ...... German was language I was learning in first 10 yrs of my schooling and I know that sch is sch ...... but I wrote it wrong on first graph and just maintained same mistake

as I said - will check more thoroughly Schade connection in few days , hopefully getting more power and mellower THD Spectra

tnx for thinking , always 🙂
 
well , ZM making a mess again ...... even with best intentions

I just got word from Bruder Gerd - they send him home today , needing some additional blood testing .... so Knife Time is postponed

even Vampires becomes reluctant , in modern era :devily:

what's good , he's in shape that things evidently aren't so urgent ......... 🙂
 
ZM,

In your three iterations is H2 negative or positive, going with Papa's way of defining it?
How likely is that I will I get a similar spectra to your posted ones. Should I be concerned that my two channels might not have matching spectra? I am planning on using SS at the bottom from the twin pairs I have bought from Patrick/EUVL. If THD spectra a bit different how can each channel be adjusted?
What VCC+/- is recommended?
Are the parts in your complete kit labeled eg resistor to resistor position or are they all together and have to be sorted by the user?

I like the way you have structured and explained this project so that the user can try different iterations and learn from them and make their own personal choice. Thank you.
