DN2540 is used as level shifter for Schade - triodizing enhanced part ( positive Ugs)

IRF510 is used as level shifter for depletion parts - negative Ugs

find entire presentation where I explained logic of this biasing ..... I forgot where it is

These days it’s a luxury to remember everything I read

It's in the SissySIT R3 thread

Slowly but almost there.

I hoped that this day will never come but here I am that I have to drill and tap 4 new holes in the heatsinks.

Do we call that Boo-Lu now?

 

[Zen Mod]

 

[schultzsch]

For me it’s a complete version of the Boo 😁

If anyone is interested to play with their Lu fets I can share the gerbers for r1 here or in a pm.

I have also 4 pcbs of r0 that I can donate. They have the wrong tracks cut, you only need to place some wires to do the correct bridges and some cleaning.

What are those connectors you are using for the Vcc's and the Out? Look almost like some sort of BNC.

 

[schultzsch]

Those are rc bullet connectors, very cheap. I use some between the amps and speakers without problems for many years.

 

[schultzsch]

2 more holes to drill and tap and I’m ready 😎

 

[Lvandoorn]

I would like to have the gerbers for r1 version!

 

[schultzsch]

the 1st half of a channel is heating up. I have 0.5r resistors in the crc filter of the ps so I have 500mV for 1a bias, the offset is close to 0mV. I set the vds of the lu at 2.4v

Oh boy, both amps are now playing music. It was easier than expected to setup everything.
Thanks ZM

 

[Zen Mod]

first impressions?

I am listening Coleman Hawkins tonight.
At 50mW that go to the speakers at this hour I can say it’s very good. What I noticed is that it does better at low level details compared to the mosfet version.

I mostly don’t like to do this type of comments because every new amp sounds better than the old one … you know how it is.
I am curious to play with the Vds of the LU. I think it can be done while you listen to music 😁
This is the part that implies a lot of fun.
