With the input transformer music is smooth and natural.
Caps are good too i don't have teflons yet.
Last change was MKP bypass for 10000 uF.
LSK jfet's + autoformer gain stage can be interesting experiment.
I can make try this but not easy because i always work on circuit with schematic
and his components values: jfet's Idss, resistors, trimmers ( caps too?) etc.
Brave souls please guide me![]()

Thanks M_Balou for bring this Papa schematic
i was thinking about front-end like M2 or try Mr. Pass

for 2SK82 and his 193V inductor load. In drawer Edcor 600:10K , 600:600 and + vintage
Have a nice day 🙂

in the time that it has taken me to read this entire thread I have come to appreciate the recent postings.
😱)
Time to build one? 🙂
I connected the amp to my main speaker's horn (800 Hz & up) today, and I find this is a really good sounding amp even though my prototype's build quality is nothing but awful.
Soundhappy, thank you for your comment about the transformer. I decided to make another quick prototype pair with cap input as a woofer side amp.
Have you finalized the bias and voltage? I'm still trying different ones. BTW, my heat sink becomes too hot with 2xSIT @20V 2A,
so I will have to redo the heat sink job. 😱
Fantastic yes go for it.
Flea watt amp can shake nice field coil excitation woofer with his own power supply , no necessairy bi-amped solution . Just idea.
Haha this L'Amp is like laboratory.
No i don't finalized but i do try different points up to 2A and 25V | 27 V later.
It's completly new vfet who is weak up now from long sleep ~ 35 years.
I like try more Bias current but i give him time and stay polite at 1.5 A for one month.
My heat sink is hot too. For the moment L profile is in reverse position ,
definitive amp version be up side down that distribute better all heat from bottom to the top.
I do try other resistors technology and brands.
Some thing to learn about passives in real working circuit: caps, resistors, trimmers and input transformers
and ideal sound transparency research ?
I like that so much.
Thanks Plasnu for your useful constructive answers

Instantly recognizable V-FET sound: coherency and roundness of sonic images.
Stringed instruments excel, especially plucked....
And it sounds powerful man.

And this (Japanese site). This blogger says this is a copy of Sony's "confidential" internal documentation.

They are never too much of heat sinks 😉
Bravo is well done design concept.

Merci bien, soundhappy.
Not that it is my preferred but that it (usually) records and uploads well to youtube to hype the DIY creations 😀
Try // Russian polystyrene caps at input and output. 😎
Bonne chance.

Great Max yes some caps from Russia are cool i like it pio bb by mkp.Merci bien, soundhappy.

I play today Chet Baker albums from Capitol Pacific Jazz records house.
This acoustic material make sense for evaluation of amp " fidelity" parameter.
Old school high quality analog techniques of mixing and studio mastering.
Preamp is modify by me and i do use switch one positon for nice caps and
the other for 600:600 transformer. Get choices bring modularity.
After that i can skip input caps of the vfet amp without the risk hooray 😀
et Vive la musique !

Fascinating!
source for 2SK82?

Hello JPS64
Could you write bit more about your future diy amp project ?
This is for what type of drivers speakers and preamplifier you probably have ?
Lots of fakes on the market....take care.
Do you try contact member CWtim01 ?

He have curve traced last genuine rare matched pair probably for L'Amp build with big sit hockey pucks.
Best regards 🙂
