Yup, I'm still learning about a lot of this stuff, and sometimes when you dont know something, you dont even know there is a piece of information to extract..
That is why i'm always thankful for patience and try not to be too much of a bother (but maybe a little 🙂 )

ZM, I see you included some sort of protection circuit on this build [Loudsp. Protect Stereo]. What are the considerations for this, and would you recommend it for other diy amps? Just asking as I wouldn't want anything to happen to my main speakers. And do you have a link to this circuit or offer this pcb? Thanks.......
ZM being Chicken with precious speakers, protection is welcome
I can share files for that protection ...... but for everyone around is much easier to buy ready made one from Ali or whatever, with uPC1237 or similar**, than to arrange production of pcbs and chase of sorta rare protection chip
I'm thinking of sending freebie bare pcb with all my kits, and even uPC1237 , if I succeed in getting them in quantity from trusted source
If I find enough time to get circuit with more generic parts, things could be much simpler
**peanuts price, peanuts shipping

Thanks, I currently have an issue in one channel of new to me WvL Son fieldcoil speakers after listening contently for one week, not sure why and if DIY ACA could be a culprit, but these are a bit too expensive to leave to chance. I will look for uPC1237 ready made one.
Lucky me with the help of Wolf von Langa I recentered the spider and all is well again. Might have been transport related misalignment. Now to focus on a suitable amp -> actually finish what I have.Thanks, I currently have an issue in one channel of new to me WvL Son fieldcoil speakers after listening contently for one week, not sure why and if DIY ACA could be a culprit, but these are a bit too expensive to leave to chance.
Can you please point me to Papa's 2V4 prescription? Mille grazie!What sims predicted and I got in vivo - insane THD levels; can't explain, can't explain......
Of course - things can be varied a little, but as far as I'm concerned - only in one way - varying Uds of LU +/-100mV ( so down to 2V3 and up to 2V5, now sweet spot being at by Papa prescribed 2V4, F3 Beastie)
Tried, but I can't find he's words for it. Lots of good info in his ZV8/9 articles, but not that specific (more like 2-3V). May anyhow be device-dependent so I guess I better find out the hard way😉
btw. food for thoughts
very similar amp can be made if LU + Cascoding mosfet are changed with darlington, at least according to sims , and I have no reasons to doubt them
say BDV65B or similar
go figure, against JFet Fetish ..........

I think we are nearing culmination of amps, getting desired behaviour with any available -cheap- device? Seeing this and pinata.

Hey, Xeneven if I'm working on some other stuff (orders, plenty of tiny wires), LuDEF P somehow sneaked on my bench today ....
not much, but certainly most tricky is done - all SMDs are soldered on
premonitionprecognition is strong ..... next week, T-Bed

How is the work going?
Some updates for us who are following the progress with excitement and how the result will turn out at the end...
