Great build Thimios!

Mine is assembled but not yet tested. I'm re-calibrating the NS OPS channel that went bad due to a bad choice of resistors for the drivers. I was told not to use high precision resistors in high current areas since they cannot take abuse and tend to snap quite easily. Bought some 3/4W thick film and installed those. The amplifier seems to be working properly now and I'm just finalizing the last calibrations on that channel.

Thanks
Do

First scope test.
Power Supply+/-50v
Bias 88mA
Offset 0mV.
Picture 3) 1Khz
>> 4) 1Khz clipping
>> 5) 1Khz hard clipping
>> 6) 20Khz clipping
>> 7) 20Khz hard clipping
Amplifier come out of clipping immediately!

Even at 20KHz there's no sign of the rail sticking - mostly because of the very cool VAS configuration. Also, unless you go deep into clipping, the corners are slightly rounded - it clips pretty softly.

Thimios, Hope all is well.
Beautiful work. I may need to try this ips with in my set.
Valery yes,i think TubeSumo is one of the best function,even under hard clipping conditions ,IPS.
Evanc,my friend,thank you again.🙂

A square wave test.
Looks like a little overcompensated?
