Hi guys,
i'm pretty new and basic here, please forgive me if i behavior fool.
i'm thinking if i replaced the D105/D205 1N5244 with TL431 and 2 resistors.
with sim, it looks improved as enclosed pic
so can you please advice if it's a good mod or not. thanks in advance.

The Zener is more likely to behave at higher frequencies.
It may even perform better at higher frequencies.

When I've started testing different regulators for the FE, I've tried TL431 (without the shunting transistor, though) and, to my ears, plain zeners sounded better, fuller and more engaging.
Just try for yourself and let us know results, it's an easy mod .
I just discovered this interesting development of the Mauro Amp I had seen a while back.
Besides the optimizations I noticed the D1, D2, D3 network between the output of the LM318 and output of the lm3886.
What is the purpose of this circuit?

What's the purpose of R11 (1ohm), can it be shorted (instead of having a jumper on Pin 7 of LM3886)?

It's probably better to ask this question over on the FE build thread,

I'm not the expert here, but I'm hoping someone with more understanding will reply.
For decoupling small signal and and power gndWhat's the purpose of R11 (1ohm), can it be shorted (instead of having a jumper on Pin 7 of LM3886)?
