Death of Gain Clone

PSu question

Hello

if one would like to build the DoGC in classAB like the shem in the first post.

Why are there two solderpoints each to attach the supplyvoltage? Schould the voltage for the BDs be filter by the Inductor, or what?

Thank you very much for your answer!

lastly: Is it a reliable design, or is it complex the bring it to life (maybe oszillation, big component tolerances etc.)-not criticising your design, just asking, as I tried many designs that were a bit tricky.

Greetings!

There are two points for supply voltage - one for class B (BDs) and one
(with inductors) for class A - diff and IRF9610/620.
As you see on attached picture, there is an option for one PS.

Resistors in bridge are 1% - 2x1k and 47 ohms...
The most important part is inductor, make it carefully!
120pF is Wima, 5% tolerance.

I made (and many people made too) a lot of DoGCs here, in Bulgaria...
The project is enough old, it started in the beginning of 2005.

Possible substitutions:
2SK170BL, 2SK117BL, 2SK364/369BL or V...
There is one condition:
Id=9-10mA(or more) @ Ugs=0V

Hello

so I may add the jumpers and use the amp with a normal (non-inductive) Power supply? Like it is shown in the shematic?

Or are the Fets running in Class A all the time and the BDs runnig in class B at the same time? this makes no sense to me.

thank you for the substitudes!
 
I was considering building this amp, but searching for components in my Farnell cat. drew a blank on both the bipolar output transistors and the input fets. Couldn't find anything that came near to the hte of the output transistors.

A kit of parts could be a nice little earner, that is if they are as cheap as you claim in your neck of the woods.

Dear Widowmaker,

have you tried the DOGC with "better" (so faster, more linear, for example 2sc5200/2sa1943) op devices.

Anyway I don't think, your amp will kick the GC. Because the GC is not preferred by sound of that: people like them, because requoires minimal parts, and it operates with a chip. And the "47LAB" is sounds good, as the father of the GC...
So sorry, but I think your design won't be as famous as GC. And the strongest in the GC-story: it's famous...

Regards,

PS.: Anyway I don't think GC is a good amp... It's good for a lot of audiofil diyer, but for me: not enough good.
