Now I designed Balanced Power Amplifier which use power tr MJ15024/25 for 75WRMS/CH with power supply rals +/- 51V

I had use 2N5415/3440 but now they're out of production. My friend suggest me you can use motolora MJE15030/31 instead of them but I like soud and spec of 2SD669/2SB649

So how can I use both of them or some people suggest me another number of driver

Hi Aht,

It seems that the pair 2SD669/2SB649 is out of production too. It has very good specs, I agree with you. I was constructing an Amp that was supposed to use them. Instead, I've used the pair KSA1220/KSC2690 from Fairchild which is easy to find and has very close specs. The amp is sounding very good.

Besides that, I agree with richieboy, On/Motorola offers a variety of driver transistors which you could use.

Best regards,

João Pedro
 
This's my schematic.

I used 15030/31 already but they're required more current than 2N5415/2N3440.

Both sound of RCA & XLR are nearest and close to Audio Analogue Puccini Se Remote in lowcost 🙂

I think it's can be modify to integated amplifier by use passive volume control.

Now it's need some modify to ZERO NFB for possible.

I study from Japan's website they're have sevaral method to modify normal amplifier (NFB amplifier) to the zero NFB amplifier.

If anybody want some pcb design (protel & pdf) can be mail to me for make a little project 75WRMS BALANCED AMPLIFIER.

I hope you'll like this project

Hi AHT,

You have strange perspectives. :cannotbe:

There are indeed many ways to degrade audio performance. Using low grade or inherently flawed parts is one, removing NFB is another! If you want to go down this path and listen to the raw distortion of OL amplifiers, fine. But to suggest others may want to follow the path is questionable?:whazzat:

I recall coming to your country to correct such misconceptions and the result - they won a "golden ear" . Is there something in the Phrao Chaya drinking water?

Cheers,
Greg
 
Why not ?

There're many ways to use zero nfb for improve performance of amplifier.

My project still use nfb but I want to modify or change some stage for testing with my (or somebody which downloaded file) experience.

amplifierguru , I like your concept and heard your suggestion amplifier (golden ear) but I want to make something different. Do you have any idea for non nfb ?

Sometime I think non nfb is misconcept but I want to make case study for my life 🙂

I have some link and some pictures from Japan website.

Hi AHT,

I love that buddhist psyche - it shows in your responses. You are so accepting - even of flawed concepts and at the same time too lacking in 'confidence' to offer something new (another current eclectic thread).

I think the indoctrination of a flawed concept that NFB is bad so should be dispensed with is everpresent in your country. You accept such flawed concepts too easily. NFB is a rock.

Cheers,
Greg
 
Sorry AHT,

I don't mean to demean - indeed it is the very enterprises such as yours and others in your country that are instrumental in defining a 'home grown' industry which can deflect the hype of overpriced, overhyped and OS audio media favoured (cabals) foreign goods your countries simply do not need.

Go for it. Your citizens should be employed to produce your country's needs.

Cheers,
Greg
 
How does it work (NON NFB module)

Simulated from circuitmaker had problem ???

After I apply NON NFB module (or DC servo module ?) from Japn website into my schematic by cut feedback resister (52.2K) and make a point A, B between output & feedback point follwing example result is my schematic doesn't work.

It's work as same as not conect feedback loop (output very clipping) so how do I modify this module or design a new schematic ?

Need some help from every guru 🙂

Regard AHT

Hi AHT,

You have taken a high OL gain amplifier design, disabled the NFB which reduces the gain to a manageable level, and installed a servo for DC feedback to stabilise the DC conditions. But the gain is now very very high open loop - as this is the way the amplifier was designed.

To bring back the gain to comfortable levels you will need emitter resistors of 100 ohms up in the input diff'l stage(s) and some collector R's to ground for the Vas, the problem here is that they will load it too much.

It's impractical with the current cct.

Cheers,
Greg

Huh, that's funny. I always thought negative feedback was a crutch.

One has to be very careful here.
Do a search on the forum and you will find lots of people for - and against NFB.

I believe NFB bad fame comes from a time (the 80's?) when Japanese makers started the ultra-low distortion spec race.
To achieve these meaningless numbers, they went to massive ammounts of feedback, sacrifiyng all other amp parameters for the nice numbers.

Result? lousy sounding amps, but not due to feedback per se, but due to bad designed (but nice numbers) gear.

NFB, used as should, is a very powerful tool for the (honest) designer.

But then again there are the ones that doesn't like it - same as the never ending argument between solid state and tubes.
 
Thanks for suggestion

After my bad idea in non nfb is doesn't work.:bawling:
I'll find some current feedback amplifier which use transistors as same as my circuit.
May be Jeff Rowland Model9 PCB is coming soon 😉 (If a schematic from hongkong is right)

But I still like my schematic 😀
