An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Allo Justcallmedad,
This is my first post in this forum.
Just a noobie's question : why doubling the constant current?
Je vous remercie.

A very remote cousin of the BT? 😎
Sorry, I mean current mirror Q1/Q2 - Q12/Q13.
After closed look, I may be understand : Q1/Q2 are current mirror and Q13 is VAS, cascoded by Q16.
Nice, I have to try it.
Salut.

It’s rather a cascoded Widlar current mirror, gain is only provided by the input fet’s.
You may try it, but from my point of view this is a bit strange mix of CFB based amp and BT output cascode.
A strange mix? - seems like something worth trying or even better comparing if someone has the components and the time!

Hi.
The idea is simple, just replacing complementary jfet with bjt-diamond.
Sure, I'll find the time to build and compare it with other, just for curiosity.
But first, I have to find the appropriate transistor and resistor value.
This is actually hard for me.
I do speaker and acoustic design but not really into amp design.
Build some DIY amp and preamp, but never design.
I tried to play a simulator and find something like this.
These are not optimum values, I know. Someone else will do much better than me for sure.
Question : Is it normal in this topology that odd harmonics dominate? Have it any important?
So please comment.
Thanks in advance.

Just to add, I like the diamond buffer structure. And I also like the complete current feedback structure, rather than standard differential VFB input.
But I do not see the reason for high impedance line output.

Hi PMA,
Thanks for the comment.
Another diamond-buffer after folded cascode will do ?
Like you do in your dispre?

Dispre is much simpler circuit, so it was easy to couple output diamond buffer (which I like a lot). I also did not solve DC, and used output capacitor, which is quite bulky and should be polypropylene.

Sorry Pavel, I thought that you spoke global feedback.
