Unusual amp from 1987

Ivan or Igor - let them be; in the meantime I'm working on the aluminum chassis for Widerhold Quasi Hexfet 🙂
Machining the Alu plate (1 inch thick, 6 wide x 12 long).
Copper spreaders for fet pairs + heatsink..
Should be enough for honest 2 x 120W.

I'm basically fine with versions sim-ed and built so far.
Don't think there would be big difference in measurements/listening -
all these amps already have very impressive parameters.

If there is one thing I would like to improve - it's the slew rate.
So far - 15V/us measured - which matches the sim exactly.
But this I guess is limited by VAS configuration itself, not the input stage..

Just to compare I sim-ed square waves on discrete NMOS200 (blameless quasi hexfet that I built few years ago)
Power amp under development
which shows slew rate over 60V/us.....

15V/us is perfectly fine for an amp, but not impressive 🙂, perhaps more is possible?

Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.000000%(0.000092%)

FFT also looks slightly better 🙂

>The gain is too high .We need to reduce it.

Now it works perfect even with my original gain (4k resistor in the input).

Wonder what slew rate will be. Will check later today..
