The good old Nelson Pass Diode Trick
15V peak into 3 Ohms, with bias of 1.3 A, and 24V rails
Left image is without diode, right image is with diode
Melon Head: Are these THD plots from a Spice simulation? Is it the "official" F5 Turbo V2 circuit?
If you think even simpler than that, you will look at a graph of Id vs Vgs.
When you reduce R source what happens to Vgs?
Starting over. It reduces Vgs.
Don't worry.
Just build it with and without diodes and see if your ears can tell the difference.
Train your ears man.
My ears are great. I have spent the last week doing a head to head between F5T V3, ALeph J, and BA3. THe listening never stops. understanding the mechanism that gets me to a point is also important. It is supposed to be easy, but eithere there are a lot of people much smarter than I who have not gotten it yet or there is a forum wide joke on me. Either way is cool. Its fun. Still want to learn.

No joking around, as far as I am concerned, but that Zen Mod is a real character.
I cant take this anymore!
Im finally buying a gun...just to blow my head off ...only problem is that I wont be around to sell it....so I can put some money into an audio project...
...sigh

Mistated this. Adding Rs reduces Vgs, reducing it would increase Vgs and as a result, bias.
More importantly, does anyone know what Nelson loves to drink?
FETS..........
nope
that's Keep It SImple Stupid , not like Sony did iT ......
Yes. Everything makes sense now

TANKS FOR THAT I AM NOW CONVERTED and have a pint on me

I am having difficulty replicating your THD plots. I am using LTSpice, essentially the original F5 schematic (without protection circuits), IRFP240/IRFP9240. Is there any chance of getting a copy of your LTSpice file?
Cabernet Sauvignon I guess, but you also have some wonderful Syrah he might appreciate.
Vergognati che schifezze senza senso.
Shame on you nonsensical plonk.
Maybe if Zen Mod did pay same attention apart from liking nice things maybe white at time ar with loads of fiz.
Papa like RED and don't tell me that you just wanna be act posh and speak french.
What wrong with BARBERA
Or Dolcetto di Diano or Ammarone or....
I mean a one of 500 botle of Picolit for missis Nelson may still be velcome
but you are in Milan....mannagia
Al in good humor of course.
