Waiting for some explanation....
Hi..
My objective is to make Spooky-Leach to work at +/-35V with 2 pair output.
Can somebody teach me how to change the VAS biasing?
Should I change R25/R29?
I wish to learn more details on the Hawksford cascode stage and how to set the VAS current.
Also, is there any change required for capacitance multiplier biasing resistors for 35V?
Thanks and regards,
Sumesh
Thank you,
I learned how to calculate R23, R24, the rail dropping resistors, assuming 21mA current(LTP+ servo OPamp current) through them.
I couldn't find how to set values for R22,R27.
Any help in this would be great.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Sumesh,
You need to change:
R23, R24
R22, R27
No other changes required.
Assuming you need to maintain the same current through all these resistors, you need to re-calculate their values in proportion to the voltage change.

With 85V rails and 6.8K resistors, you will get around 17V at the zener, which should be fine.

You have a PM.. Please check...
Please always post the schematic diagram you will ask about.
This is a long thread for easy service.
If my memory serve well, you need about 5.5mA VAS current.
Voltage on a zener must be what a zener voltage is.
17v on a 15v zener isn't right. You must recalculate Rzener for 14, 8-15,2 voltage.

Have replied with my contact details.

Spooky leach started singing...
Thanks for all the support...Got my doubts cleared after reading the previous posts in the thread....!
Now, only ONE doubt...Where should I connect the servo ground? To the lifted signal ground or to the main IPS ground G2?
I understand that feedback ground should be connected to lifted ground.
Pls, clarify.

I think you can connect that normally my Greenamps I connected them in the same matter the servo GND is already establish see image

Thank You Juan...It helped...

Good show Sumesh, way to go
Hello everyone
I finished reading the whole thread:
overwhelming and engaging, wonderful people, wonderful projects, wonderful brains ... you have thrilled me with such team spirit ... you are my "virtual family", congratulations to all ... .. now I can start building the Slewmaster.

PS:I would like to buy a pair of OPS 3P pcb, does anyone have availability?

OK.
In my version of this VAS , the global bias is usually set by the current in
the LTP's. If you want a set LTP current , there is a alternative way to
fine tune the cascode's (VAS main output I) current. That is to change the
amount of current through the LED's.
Calculating the main current is as simple as subtracting the LED current from
the current across one of the main VAS emitter resistors. If you want less
current through the cascode , reduce R between the LED's.
As far a the Cap multiplier with a lower supply , one could reduce the R (C-B)
to lessen the multiplier's voltage drop.
Also , at lower voltages the 12V zener regulator resistance need to be reduced.
35V = 2.2K - 3.3K.
PS - glad Y'all enjoy the spooky/greenamps.

Hi all...
I started to populate "Arc Welder" edition. Is there a reason to use 5 pairs in output with 2x50v rails (I will use 2 x 2x35v 300W each toroids for dual mono) or it's better to use 3 pairs of output transistors?
p.s. I already built "borys edition" of SlewMaster and tried it with several IPS - it's fantastic project! Huge Thanks to OS and everyone in this thread!
