I did mention (temporary) rails fuses as desperate measure to save output mosfet, in case that Ge is gone Dodo
as I said - I had only one case of popcorn Ge, with 1T813, perfectly set and then gone Poof on first sight of signal at base
in fact , I had another one - when first testing Si option, but that was my mistake in fullest - I did put 2SC5200 of very dubious origin
in 1T813 episode, I'm sure that IRFP240 gone too, can't remember for 2SC5200 episode, but most likely it was same case
and yes, I didn't had rails fuses ...... which I was sure to arrange in T-Bed 2, pretty handy to disarm whichever channel I want, whenever I want
luckily - still didn't popped one, on T-Bed 2, very good, considering prices of part usually sitting in
anyway - those are the reasons why I'm having multipairs of output posts on T-Beds - pair pre-loudspeaker protection ( handy for measurements all the time, variac-ing or whatever) and pair post-loudspeaker protection
speakers, when used, are always post - protection, logically

Even old souls can be super sexy! Nicely done!
Still hunting down proper transistors so I might try this one. I even used to work at a GM parts department that sold AC/Delco parts. Sad I did not get some. If only I had worked in elevator repair also.
Allready on it. It seems he has a day job. Bet he’ll share listening impressions tonight
Andy is with me 🧐🤓
As he said, had to rush—it seems I have a day-job
I left it biased at 85mV, since it seems those buggers are real divas!
Last week, 2 elevators in the neighborhood suddenly stopped working, weird huh?

Dennis,
I got a spare protection unit (unbuilt) from the store, plus all parts from mouser… procedure as usual if you want it…

After inserting the naturally forgotten jumpers, it’s warming up with some ink spots and kenji jammer…
Hei, it sounds veryvery good.
First gasp and of course absolutely unqualified impression: I might prefer it over the sony vfet… but let us get to know each other a bit better! 😍

Could you elaborate on this get-to-know-process between you and your amps? There are many things I haven’t tried
