Old Soul

How much can these bastards be pushed wrt dissipation per device, of course given chewing gum or the likes as thermal conductor?

getting more and more interested…


I gave you my recipe

not that is best one or only one

though, I'm already notorious - regularly forgetting to turn fan On on my T-Beds, so everything ending redchillihot, for who knows how long

that happened to my Old Soul too .... and I was relieved that 2N1099 survived , no gurgle

though, of lately, I'm avoiding to turn fan(s) Off
 
25V rails, 1A Iq

they were X*?@! ....... and survived

though - I'm saying - they survived, but I'm not saying that I would dare to use them that way in prolonged time

A quick update: Over the weekend I replaced the 2n1099 in the broken channel as well as the mosfets to avoid any potential issues. Bias was uneventful.
I left it playing on test speakers for about 15 hours with rail fuses. After that, I removed the temp wiring with the fuses and ran for a few more hours.

I noticed that with the lid on and running for a while, the quiescent current drifted down a bit; I'll probably leave it as is.

Cheers,
Dennis
