My MOSFET amplifier designed for music

ic check the WIMA it si written 100/400V
measured 1nF !!

omg

and the amp has worked?!?

just to clarify

after a smal talk to my colleague he give me the hint that the cap Multimeter i used is defect.
so you are right it must be 100pF.
at home i veryfiy this with my LCR meter --> yes it is 100pF

it is a WIMA - FKP2G001001D00JSSD 100pF 400V 5mm pitch
Wima 100pF 400V

last check before l channel goes back into the amp.
setup is 2,86Vrms without load and check the pin6 pov output to be sure everything is fine.

from 200Hz down
yellow ch1 is input
light blue ch2 output scope probe directly at the amp out
drak blue ch4 is the pin6 opv output

looks okay -its more then preamp-Lasse- suggested -

now it is with 8R load after the coil
setup is 2,86Vrms with load and check the pin6 pov output

from 200Hz down
i got a spike!
at lower frequency it doesn help to set the current up of my psu ..its toggling around...


yellow ch1 is input
light blue ch2 output scope probe directly at the amp out
drak blue ch4 is the pin6 opv output



okay????

See if the glitch appears on the rails. If the PSU is doing strange things then that will reflect in the behaviour of the amp.

The output of the amp and the output of the opamp should be clean under sinewave testing under all conditions and loading. It sounds like you have either PSU issue or the grounding is incorrectly configured.

psu is clean..rigol 832..or not?

yes its getting better after i changed/repair completely the GND cables at my psu.
but stil between 10-7Hz strange
at 7Hz i use the ch3 pink to look at the negatie rail and positive rail.

i guess that the PSU is struggling with this load...still no constant voltage and current is up to 1A.

3,5,6Hz is gone

The rise in gain below around 2Hz is something that has been commented on earlier in thread and its a normal function of the opamp R/C time constants interacting with the amp input. If the source impedance is a few k then the issue is much less pronounced as shown here.

And with 3k source impedance:

Your measurements agree pretty well with the simulation, that build is working fine!

No need to get hung up on those low-frequency measurements, as you should not encounter anything serious below 20Hz anyway. Otherwise you may have a look at the modifications that I did on my build, to take away some of the governance from the servo and tame that LF-peak.

The observed distortions are most probably caused by the PSU, like Mooly already suggested. Hook up a proper transformer and test again.

@chermann - I've just been reviewing a lot of posts in this thread and noticed a possible problem with your build. The photo's in one of your posts a few pages back seem to show no chassis (safety) earthing ?, e.g., the second photo here: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...signed-for-music.119151/page-100#post-7875372

I don't know the Austrian Regs., but I'm fairly sure in UK the mains safety Earth connection to the amp has to be taken directly to a permanent fixed chassis point, as soon as it enters the amp - might be worth checking.
