Wow!!! Talk about a dream amp! Too bad that no semi-affordable little brothers are likely to ever be forthcoming.
Fragment from Stereophile:
" The transistors weren’t identified back then but it turned out that they were Sony Vertical Field Effect Transistors or VFETs (footnote 1),
a device Sony had developed 1972 to mimic the transfer function of a 300B triode tube. "
In this writing Vfets was mentioned like 300B triode
equivalent transistor not well distributed at large scale.
Today old stock pristine Western Electric 300B are very rare & priced,
but this technology is not forgot in modern era.
European revival become from ELROG company in Germany
direct heated hand crafted triodes 211/845 delivered 20 watts
be in production at small factory&lab.
In 2014 we see probably first new 300B from this passionate and smart team
Transistor technology is much easy in large scale production versus tubes.
Matrix is made and copy and paste like procedure made 10 000 or 1000 000
its not much time consuming made by standarised industrial procedures.
My questions for Mr Pass and DiyAudio gentlemans is:
SIT and Vfet transistors what the future for next generations of music
lovers?
Vfet and SIT's solid state revival and developement like high standard audio for 21 century bring back at large scale for humanity why not ?
😀:Yes do it today🙂
ClassD with Vfet's Sony TAN-88 sound interesting amplifier or vintage curiosity?
Thanks for response
Best regards

The future of the present & next generation of truly music lovers could be the three bottles of Petrus you posted above too!

I've been thinking about the triode "characteristc". (Not like I complete understand it.) Is there a tube or transistor characteristic that goes beyond triode? Is it limited by the the 2nd and 3rd harmonic? Does it have more to do with the curve characteristics of a tube or semi?
Hi Vdi_Nenna
Every day transistor for audio amplification have much
like pentode tube characteristics.
Vfet or Sit be triode tube " equivalent " in solid state technology.
Vfet SIT transistors have very similar tube valve triode curves
very linear excellent for audio reproduction and
with no output transformer needed and this it easier
to have large bandwith response.
Cheers

Oh ah Massimo !
Music lovers make diner with girl friend and drink some
big ballon of this nectar and after go on concert in Opera of Milano.
Just before go to sleep meditate shining sky full of stars.
Dream...

not enough glow
& too much components 🙂
Any news about Vfet Sony CS Xformer amplifier
Mr NP article is in cooking process?Like usual unusual situation with nice last moment surprise but learn patience 😀😀😀😀😀
Greetings
My intention be find hero who make Vfet Sit 's come back for large scale
with moderate price.
Imagine be accesible on DiyAudio store made for example
by Linear Systems Company.
Best regards
Usefull little schematics library with Vfet 's:

how about a question on the side
well since that amp is hardly in the works for my diy 🙁, I would be interested in learning about that regulated supply though. it has been a while since Papa published along those lines. is it something only meant for class A (Zoutwise and high DC draw required), or is it something it could be used for high wattage B or AB class as well? care to drop a hint?
