Hi, i have ordered boards and stencils.
This will be fun.
TSSA Family will grown up
What is Zout of this creature?
Hi revintage, welcome to TSSA thread
In TSSA Basic from post #1, Zout mainly depends on open loop gain (voltage gain if there would be no feedback present), higher the OLG the lower Zout is. If you higher 1k Rgs to 2,2k like Sonnya did, you get half Zout etc. I assume Zout is in a range 50-100 mOhm.

Don't be fooled guys, Lazy is making CSA in the background (behind the scenes).
P.S. CSA - Complex Symmetrical Amplifier hahaha
What is Zout of this creature?
From what I see it is slightly above 1 Ohm (Post#1). Worse than F5. But my paralleled IRF632/9630 version has zero output impedance

When i see what the simple gave i can't imagine what the Complex one will looks....

200mOhm. with ALF16N16/W16
Yes Sonnya, that is correct!
Jay mixed up TSSA Basic with zero-feedback transformer output tube amp.

First I thought CSA meant Crazy Symmetrical Amplifier
hehe you're both right, you simply don't want to see that
You are so right, I should maybe have used MOSFET output device when I copied one of the too far simplified schematics.
Actually, the bjt set with predriver and 0.1R emitter resistor Will give you lower distortion because of higher transconductance.
Hi LC, i plane to install a switchable input cap. What will be the best value for?
Marc
At 10 kOhm input impedance I suggest to use 22 uF or vice versa 10 uF at 22 kOhm (have to change) input resistor, to get 4,5 Hz/-4dB high pass roll off. Also you need to have input side of the capacitor connected to GND via 1 MOhm resistor to define zero DC potential and to have no clicks by switching AC/DC coupling.
When the transistors are ok the circuit in post 1 works right away.
Hi Gerhard
I own you a great apology not to come to your booth at High End, the reasons are combined (bunch of crazy audiophiles lost orientation sense in a "playground", tight time schedule - one transport ...) and not completely justified I know. Please forgive and hopefully we'll stay cooperative as we were before.
Kind regards Andrej
