DIY Front End 2022

[Nelson Pass]

Greetings.

I present the DIY FRONT END 2022.

WOW,thanks Pa

 

[Adams_Leo]

does the kit ready?

Thank you!
I am looking forward for the little power amplifiers projects! I hope I will be able use my pair of Tokin THF-51S with those.

Excellent! Thanks, Nelson! Can’t wait to try this out with some low/no-gain amps.

So nice!

 

[Nelson Pass]

The essentials kits are packed up and will ship to the store this week.

The flexibility of the circuit is pretty fantastic. I like the option of single rail supply, and the phase inversion trick will be handy for single stage common source amps.

Another incredible gift for the community : many thanks Pa!

With this excellent "platform" enabling so many configurations you should be able to walk out safely "for a long time" without having to meet villagers with torches ;-)

The schematic seems to be revised; compare to the version shown in the BAF-2022 video. The biggest surprise, to me anyway, is the disappearance of PNP's emitter resistor. In Nelson's article "DIY Opamps" on his PassDIY site (link), his opamp circuits that used a PNP for the second gain stage, did have a 10 ohm emitter resistor like the one shown in the BAF-2022 video. But now, poof, gone.

WOW ,Thank you!

 

[Nelson Pass]

Compensation caps too - Poof! Gone!

Nicely!

Baaaad Pa!

 

[Aleph5]

Very nice, and simple! Looks like Q3 is set for 2mA; what about for Q4?

It's Christmas again already!!! Thank you Papa!

Mr. Pass, could you tell us the rough current of the first and second stage CCS?

Another gift from Pa!

A little under 3 ma and 9 ma. Approximate, but not at all critical.
