Anyone explored VFET headphone amps yet? 🙂
Could be fun to use 2SK180 for headphone amp to drive low impedance (14 ohm) planars? They're also greedy and love having a lot of current on tap.
Could probably turn the bias down quite a bit (honestly, don't need more than 5W) in order to reduce heatsinking requirements.
Some guys use 300B for headphones -- I think it'd be cool to have a VFET-based dedicated headphone amp.

A ToFo has a very low output impedance. A headphone with an impedance of 14 ohm without problems can be driven (no increase in bass response).
ZM, what do you think?

I tried the DIYA VFET Lottery amp on planar headphones. Sounds great - the low noise background is perfect and the power and dynamics very nice. Easy to make a headphone adapter.
DIY Sony VFET Builders thread
well, if that's that, amp already solved in several iterations
though, for cans, Sony VFets are more appropriate than Tokins ....... much lesser investment in energy department and hardware
in other words, methinks that Tokin is starved bellow 1A5 and 25V rail

Ben you are right, there is some difference. I tried to contain bulk and above all, the weight. One channel is almost finished. Adding an headphone output isn't a bad idea. If it doesn't blow, I'll post the measurements.

Ok cool but after one page in case of doubts Diyers please read the thread title and try posting on topic.Thanks gentlemen's A Rough Matched Pair (2pcs) of 2SK182ES (without DATA)TOKIN SIT V-FET NOS | eBay

I have good day but can be better with Diyers posts on topic in this thread now.
Thanks politely in advance 🙂 https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/ven...os-79-sit-fet-japan-tokin-31.html#post6705945
