The right direction? 😕
value of source/drain resistors
LED positioning
emiter of opto bjt in wrong point
I'll say no more ......

no J2 Babelfish from Mighty ZM

transistor part - better , but resistor values still not good , same as termination of LED part
........ and - you have few missing parts
google for nelson pass , optical bias , patent

I do not see any need for the optocoupler. Why not use a tl431 as Nelson does? maybe supply the tl431 by a CCS to ease its work? I even guess, thats not necessary, I would just put a 220uF cap across it to make it a stiff (whatever so adjusted) voltage offset...
The feedback connection would care for dc stability, and I guess, a 2SJ109 is preferable to single silicon devices...
But hopefully Nelson shares the secret, I have 2sJ109, semisouth ans 2sk170 waiting...

ak4396 - would you like to share your spice model of that precious device (sjep..) or point me in a useful direction.

Well, that takes the fun out of cloning.


What about the tl431 instead of opto whatever???
I just dont have a good tl431 spice model that works,
Just a thought, El

hi everybody, 🙂
maybe I just heard half of the heaven J2 promises....
I got tea-bags semisouth and put them together with the semisouth I got from magura in a BA-1. I left the IRF240 on the negative side doing the job as a current source and ,like Nelson would say, not to spoil the performance of the output stage by the gainstage I changed the IRF610 by a semisouth R100.
Wonderful performance, more details, voices totally different and subtle.
So I can wait for J2 in any version much better! 😎
