Unusual amp from 1987

Can the collector of the 1st transistor (Q3 in my schematic, the one with Base at summation point) be connected to the ground, instead of +12V?
=============
Можно ли подключить к земле коллектор 1-го транзистора (Q3 на моей схеме, тот, у которого база в точке суммирования) вместо + 12В?
 
I thought you went to sleep 🙂

I know how this is going to end - you are going to add a coil to it...

Now, that emitter follower you added (Q8 in my schematic) - it's currently operating at 100mW. Little bit too much for a small transistor, and not high enough for using bigger TO-126.
Perhaps it's power dissipation can be lowered somehow by 20%, so small transistor can be used?
=======================
Теперь этот эмиттерный повторитель, который вы добавили (Q8 на моей схеме), в настоящее время работает на 100 мВт. Немного многовато для маленького транзистора, и недостаточно высоко для использования большего ТО-126. Возможно, рассеиваемую мощность можно как-то снизить на 20%, чтобы можно было использовать небольшой транзистор?
 
That we have a composite transistor of the opposite conductivity turned out . The structure of the amplifier is equivalent to Sukhov
100mw normally.R47 change, increase to 510-750. Checking for the square wave and frequency analysis. A1145/C2705 A1208/2910

I don't see these transistors available in US, at least not from reputable sellers (E.g. Mouser, Digikey)..

Я не вижу этих транзисторов в продаже в США, по крайней мере, у уважаемых продавцов (например, Mouser, Digikey).
 
2N3055 quasi version

In a meantime, since I have some PCBs left, and a lot of 2N3055 transistors, I wanted to build Wiederhold77 quasi BJT version with 2N3055.
Rails at +/- 25V.
It was actually lot of trouble, because it seems that all 2N3055 models for LTSpice are old - I guess developed for original, epitaxial devices.
Modern devices are very different.
So while my spice model worked very well in theory, actual build was oscillating all over the screen, and I spent lots of time debugging it.
Finally, I found new models for 2N3055 (attached), and re-done the sim, and today the amp worked like a champ.
See screenshots.
Slew Rate is approx 13V/us. Slightly faster faster than first 3 amps.
Runs very stable, not hot, no heatsinks needed for drivers.
Idle current 25mA per device.
Music tests to follow.
So this is 4th amp built so far from this thread, I guess I have nothing better to do... 🙂
All tests done with 8 Ohm resistive load.
Sinus at 14kHz, 82kHz, 150kHz
Square at 14kHz
Output DC offset: -0.6mV
Op-amp was TL071.

My previous builds also had this diode D8 at Q1 (E-B).
Should it be removed in all of them, or just this one is problematic?

It should be moved to Q10, anode to emitter, cathode to the base?

В моих предыдущих сборках также был этот диод D8 на Q1 (E-B). Стоит ли его убирать во всех, или только с этим проблематично? Его нужно перенести на Q10, анод на эмиттер, катод на базу?
