Andy,

they have all the transistors for the leach amp and leach superamp.

Would it e possible to use these transistosr in place of the 2n3440/2n5415 .... aside from case differences would the circuit function?
Thanks for the radio shack tip, but ever since a bad bridge rectifier blew up a brand new mosfet amp i built i refuse to purchase any of there old substandard parts

Parts List
Check here for a parts list:
http://djss.hypermart.net/beast.htm
I know the list is for the SuperAmp, but much applies also to the Leach Amp. I know the parts you are looking for are listed there.
PS. I have had backorders of up to 4 months on those particular transistors =(

You may want to look at 2SA1210 (pnp) and 2SC2912 (npn). These are in a TO-126 case and so may require some "cleverness" to twist leads to fit. These parts have a much higher beta and much lower Cob than the specified parts, so you will probably need to at least check the frequency compensation. I'ved used these in similar designs for years and they quite work well as voltage gain stages in power amps.

mlloyd1, that is a cool tip on the 2SA1210/2SC2912 pairs. I am seriously considering a design that uses the 2SD669/649 pair, and am looking at alternatives to get multi source availability.
I have some general questions regarding VA stages though, and I was hoping someone can shed some light on this. Is there any downside at all in using transistors in the VA (transimpedance) stage with high ? Is there such a thing as too much gain? Are the gains of the individual transistors that compose a cascode VA stage really important when driven in a Darlington configuration?
Thanks, and I wish everyone a happy new year.
Update : Please disregard the previous nte16/17 reference, if you managed to read it before I removed it. I fogot to pay attention to the Ic and the Vce params, which are unsuitable for audio amp designs.

As far as datasheets, I beleive both the 2sa1210 / 2sc2912 as well as the 2sb649 / 2sd669 are made by Hitachi. Go here and search hitachi discrete transistors web site
As far as purchasing, any of the usual Japanese semiconductor houses (Dalbani, MCM, CEI, etc.) should stock them. You can also get them from Borbely Audio in Germany. That is actually where I got my first ones some years ago - as part of a Servo 50 MOSFET amp kit.

I'm sorry, the link I posted doesn't seem to have all the info I thought it would. ALso, the 2SC2912/2SA1210 are made by Sanyo (the 2SB649/2SD669 are made by Hitachi). Some time in the next day I will post a link (maybe to my own website to make it easy) to the datasheets for all four devices in question.
Sorry,
Michael
Sorry,

For the 2N3440/2N5415 used in Leach's design try:
http://www.future-active.com/
they have them by the boatload.
good luck

datasheets posted ...
at my website here:
http://www.enteract.com/~mlloyd1/audio/transistor-datasheets/
for now, just the driver transistors as promised and small signal duals
enjoy
