The M2 Output Stage in Class A/B, and maybe a Power WHAMMY?

With that high a voltage you could run a CapMx PSU (maybe the SLB - it will loose 3v per rail) and then power an F5 turbo. If you can get suitable / matched output transistors then that might be a good use of your transformers.

This amp is limited by the max voltage that the front end OpAmp will see (likely not continuous rating, but the switch on transient). For an OPA604 you're looking at +/-23v max

I try but don't understand why power supply is on emitters?

Good work Harry, Can you please share a pic of the other side of the little board?

I'm still assuming that design intent is to use a 47K -ve global feedback resistor combined with a 470K local resistor. 3K3 series resistors on the 2x inputs and a 47K shunt on the +ve input
 
@DIYHarry, Can you please post a pic of the rest of that LT Spice circuit.

I'm struggling to understand why a direct copy of the proposed circuit in the attached article can't be used, the advantage being that the OpAmp daughter board is a stand alone device, with no additional connections.
 
Is the ground connection on the daughter board to input ground, or the output stage?

Looks like the design is single RCA input only with a19K global (non-mixed) feedback

Perhaps there is room to use the mixed feedback approach and an XLR input?
 
lets sum up what Patrick wrote:

The LT1010 represents a unity gain buffer, which of course can be the M2OPS.
so in the Lt spice file we have to think about that the LT1010 should be your M2OPS.
LTSpice do not care about the maximum ratings in real LT1010 --> about +/-22V rail


Note that Vin must always stay well between V+ and V-.
yes op amps are limited here

Only think about actual application when you have it working on breadboard.
In the test case, you need to remove the LT1010, as it will not survive 25V rails.
maximum rating of the LT1010 is +/-22V rail

You should check against the Spice circuit using your Gerber reader.
okay...my Gerber reader is not working at JLCPCB now...super slow...no results after 10minutes..
should be checked


Then suggest you use 1mm thick PCB.
It can go directly on top of a DIP8 pin header, which you should solder first of all.
The SOIC single opamp should go on last.
should be checked by DIYHarry

And it should fit directly onto the opamp location on the Power Whammy PCB.
okay...so my suggestion is DIP8 socket#1 is in the Whammy pcb
and DIP8 socket #2 is the place where the bootstrap pcb should be implemented
so put socket #2 into socket#1



You need to route the OPS output and Gnd to this adapter board.
---> see post 362 above
so in the Lt spice file we have to think about that the LT1010 should be your M2OPS.


ps:
i do not have M2OPS or this bootstrap pcb
