I know these are available at Mouser, DigiKey. Maybe other for less ...

You have a switching power supply that you get dual rails from? Do you mind sharing a schematic or a URL of how you are getting the dual rails please?

Ah, I thought the first paragraph was a suggestion (the TDK) and that what he mentioned in the second paragraph was that he was using something else. My bad.
I may source the TDK as a starting point.
Thanks!

Nope -- I am using a conventional dual rail supply, unregulated, with an Amveco transformer. I mentioned the TDK-Lambda as an alternate which, for $26, would seem to do the trick quite nicely!
Been listening to the Marsh amp for a week now and can testify it sounds excellent.
Bias drifts slightly between -0.3mV - 0.5mV on each channel but generally very stable and running extremely cool, the 200mm heat sinks are way overkill it appears. Background is utterly silent, zero hiss or hum. No THD measurements yet unfortunately.
Headphones are AKG712 @ 62ohm/105db and Focal Elear @ 80ohm/104db.
The Juma / Prasi Cap Multipliers are working perfectly and highly recommended, very simple and versatile. Rails are at +/-18.5V
Big thanks to Jack for the kit and help and of course to Dr Marsh for a cracking DIY amp. Good job...

Could somebody please show me the schematic if even by email?
Theres people who are unable to make international payments and we are left in the dark. 🙁

Hello.
search in this thread starting from last page - the author of the (RN MARSH) or someone with his permission ( i don't remember) had published the full circuit from article here some time ago, i hope its still there.

I ended up buying
CUT355FF/A TDK-Lambda | Mouser Australia
With that I get some over-voltage and over-current protection. There are cheaper options like
RPT-60C MEAN WELL | Mouser Australia
but I liked the features of the TDK-Lambda

With the most important finding being: The JFETs specified are now unavailable
Not a problem. You can use LSK170B and LSJ74B -- these will perform quite well.
There are surface mount JFETs as well MMBF -- search on the OnSemi website.
I sold about 100 "kits of parts" for the Marsh -- all the matched semi's, resistors, potentiometers and the PCB for $27. I still have some if interested.
Isn't Ideal Diode rectifier best used for higher power demanding devices like Class A speaker amplifiers? Are there any advantages of using such circuit for a low power amplifier?
I recently got a task of building power switching device based on an ideal diode and your post got me thinking.

The most advantage comes when you use it for (very) low voltages. On a 40V supply, 0.6V diode drop isn't very significant.
But it is on a 3.3V supply!

Richard Marsh has asked me to post his email address for anyone who wants/needs to contact him about the HPA. It is rmarsh@calweb.com . Include the word "Audio" in the subject line so he knows is isn't spam.
