Eh, that's reality...I like motorbikes, but I ride a mountain bike. Not bad, and healthier too...🙂
Someone said cars? Ok, I like italian ones. I drive a Fiat punto.
Ok, what else can we discuss in this thread, except Jfet Boz? 😀![]()

I drive 101 with Uno 1.4 engine 😉
yes anyone?DaveM said:
Back on topic, how long will a J BOZ run on a pair of nine volt batteries? Anyone know yet?

sorry I don't have a fancy bike pic.🙄

Only Papa could do it. Ok until Papa wakes up I think . . .
Hmm . . . I'd like try JFET BOZ with J310 instead of 2SK...
J310 has lower transconductance than 2SK... and will probably
give higher distortion . . . But, is this a considerable problem?

Thats nice, danon🙂 Better put one into the BOJZ. Doesnt get much simpler than that. Sums up to 19 parts per channel including headphoneamp.danon said:Applying similar topology, a headphone amp to make
the pre complete 😎
Now who has a 10 part per channel RIAA to contribute😀

Blues, I like the Exile Cycle stuff 😀 Russell helped me out with a few parts on my "DIY Ride"
Nice ride flq. Russell Mitchell has some really simple, elegant and cool creations.
More bling...

As I draws about 5mA, see the battery specs (how much mA/h) and you will know.

Reporting in:
I tried and tried, but I couldn't get satisfying sound out of this - I built 2 layouts and protoboarded it, but I think it needs to be adjusted for each specific setting according to the rest of the system.
I did find that the zhaolu 2.5 dac puts out a much larger output than my dvd player
Testing:
Trace layer - there is a trace missing between PSU Cap + that was fixed:
Top layer:
CMOY killer version - next to some 2SK389V and 2SJ109BL:
I haven't given up yet though, just taking a break - I'm planning on building a version with cermets in place of some of the resistors so I can tweak on the fly

Hi there!
I'd like to build a boz and add a tone control to it (i know it's not such an audiophile approach
) but i don't know how to do it.
I'd like something that boost upper and lower leaving midrange frequency untouched. Is it possible to do? Are there schematics avaiable?
Many thanks in advance.
Ciao! 🙂

Jfet BOZ deceived me!
When I built it, I was testing it with amps that do have some voltage gain. With F2 lite, Jfet BOZ was working fine, very clean and musical as well.
What happened? I modified F2 into "Ota-one transistor amplifier". For those that didn't read that thread, that's simply a follower-no voltage gain. So I had to push Jfet Boz more...and then it distorted...
I cut one of 27 ohm source resistors. Became a bit cleaner, but not much...Ok, at low volumes it still sounds wonderful, one of the best combinations ever heard (jfet+ota). This made me want more...but Jboz distorts!
So it seems that it is not capable of swinging enough voltage, or maybe I need to experiment more with resistor values. Or, add two batteries more, and make it 36v supply...

Vix

The circuit has a sweet spot, but outside of that, it won't work
as well. More supply voltage will increase the distortion.
You will need a more complex circuit, or one whose JFET better
fits the characteristic you want. Offhand, I don't have a
suggestion for that part.
Suffice it to say you will need a more complex circuit than that
to do the job.
I guess it's a good time to trot one out...
