My latest Class-A amp project - the Clamp-III
It is a simple power follower using LM317 as CCS and a IRF450 MosFet
Board - relays are for switching bias (1, 2, or 3A )
Initial testing - power is abt. 15W in 8 Ohm - PSU is C-L-C - 31V DC at the Amp-boards.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

No, the output devices are 5 pairs MJW3281A/1302A, and their drivers can be SK1058/SJ162 or MJE15032/15033.
Phase Linear
Some great pics there! Noticed a rarely seen Phase linear in one of the pics! Have never been able to find one here in Australia, I heard they are very touchy when it comes to output transistors (and theres a lot of them to replace if one fails) Would anyone recommend them to compliment a vintage hi fi set up? they look great and very big, but don't know much about their reputation in terms of quality of sound etc...Cheers, Andy
