I like it. I just happen to have a pair of 3.5K ohm OPT's. Close enough with a slight amount of power loss?
yup , lesser power , but also lesser THD
> I'll try your suggestion next weekend, junk box permitting
You already have Tx, D & C.
No reason why you cannot use the same MOSFET.
Else the old IRFP240 will also do.
CRD can be just a LND150, plus a 2W resistor to suit Idss and desired voltage.
And then use your other remaining C to parallel the R above.
I am sure you have them all lying around.

i like it , even a french guy can build it 😀
i already have 1,5W E55L tube Spud amp , with nearly the same config 140V 55ma 3,5K transformer. it will be fun to make a direct contest Tube Vs Sand 🙂
yup , lesser power , but also lesser THD
Just as in a tube amplifier. You and I have horns so the slight loss of power will probably not be noticed. So simple I may have to give it a go.

My experience is all things equal with class A there is not a appreciable difference. It comes down to your preference for SS vs tubes.

also difference between triode ( I suppose you have) and pentode

power is overrated

Irresistible.
😛
Just for fun.
And no, I am not joining with the build.
Not transformers.

McIntosh is a firm believer in OPT for SS. Unless things have changed.

you mean - autoformers ?
you mean - autoformers ?
Don't believe so. My understanding is they use output transformers just as they do with their tube amplifiers.
nope , autoformers
I knew if I was wrong someone would correct me. Always thought they used output transformers. Zen Mod is the man. 🙂
Red LED?
Do you mean for the bias?
In this case, you want the degeneration and adjust-ability. 🙂

if that's for believing , all you need is to take a look at their xformers , top.
power xformer having proper schematic sticker , autoformer also ..... even wearing a title Audio Autoformer
example attached (clogging da thread ...... but this is Papafun one , so who cares) .... and yes , overcomplicated drek .
just rename xtension from .asc to .pdf ..... I cheated , to upload it here
