SissySIT

OK~! just learned one thing.. 🙂
The more I look into your circuit it is educational and interesting.

Could you also comment on the red circled one? 😀
Why these are not there in the SissySIT?

they are here ...... D3 being in same place , still , working same duty in both Babelfish M25 and SissySIT - preventing lower gate to wrap around output node in positive clipping for more than one diode drop voltage

in case of Babelfish M25 and M2 , D1 and D2 are doing same thing , for negative clipping - preventing upper gate to wrap around output node for more than 2 diode drop voltages

however , in SissySIT , upper gate is already bellow output node , so leaving D1 and D2 here is Big NoNo , they will conduct pronto , so bye with any function of ....anything :rofl:

so ,fro SissySIT, toss out D1 and D2 , introduce D4 and D5 , and they'll prevent upper gate to wrap around neg rail for more than 2 diode drop voltages

simple , isn't it ?

🙂

also observe difference in orientation of ZD1, SissySIT vs. Babelfish M25
 
it's simple ....... just imagine what's happening when dumb or drunk operator turns preamp volume control few full circles , then some

input buffer goes Berserk , autoformer is even multiplying that berserk , while gates of output devices are trying to reach both roof and cellar ..........

in same time , PSU rails are much lower than roof and much higher than cellar , and sources are simply unable to leave window between two rails

so , something must be there to prevent gates to go out of building

🙂
 
ZM, how low could one let go Iq, lets say not having Berserker but more a Sissy SissySIT? Have very sensitive speakers (100db) and can't radiate 170 Watt in my living room environment BUT I am highly interested in the SIT sound. Any chance for that or is ist the wrong amp to do such a thing?

Cheers

I confused 2SK182 for THF-51 and later I found that I was listening to 2SK182 (with IRFP9240, Iq 1.3A Supply 28V). 🙂

So they are workable in SissySIT circuit which is flexible enough I believe, why not?

Sound is ... almost the same to my dumb ears.
 
according to your table , no go ..... no certain voltage window to squeeze opto bjt in

gate to gate is different , so other solutions already shown in Most Greedy Boy, of them all... or (there is no) DEFiSIT of Papa's Koans are viable

of course , one can be sure only after testing exact 2SK182 specimens under prescribed conditions - rails 22 to 25V and Iq 1A8 to 2A
