Very simple quasi complimentary MOSFET amplifier

thimios, glad to see that you've got to the trouble of building a second channel. Does this mean we can look forward to another listening report once you've had the opportunity to listen to it in stereo?

Surely I am going to build it but will require some time. I am not as good at etching my own boards as Thimios or Terry here, takes me many attempts😱.

Prasi
If Dave or someone has excess boards, I will buy from him. (At a special discount hopefully😉😀 ). Just kidding!

I understand completely Prasi. I've never had much success etching boards myself - not for lack of trying!
Sure,you can expect a new listening report in stereo mode this time.(not dual mono unfortunately).
Why boys?
Etching your own pcb is so simple if you are using photoresist boards.
I will post again detailed guide.
Now,here is this singing second channel,keeping empty positions for D8 C9 and a link in position of R19.
Prasi,i used the 1st ver.bords.
I don't know is the 2nd version. has improved for extra space between feedback capacitor and input capacitor.

i use photo resist only, but seem to do something wrong in exposure to sunlight, either under or over. yes a guide would be nice.
yes, second version (ver3), has improved space and clearances and silk.

exposure to sunlight
No my friend,this isn't the right way!
100 UV leds from EBAY is what i use,a photocopy in black&white (transpery) is the film then the solution of 9g. ΚΟΗ in 1 lit.water for fixing and then the etching solution
 
link? is it for 5cmx 5cm or 10cm x 10cm?

I have used seeedstudio (actually from Singapore) for all my boards so far.

5cm x 5cm boards for $10, 10cm x 10cm (max) boards for $22 here, shipping is about $4:

10cm x 10cm (max) boards for $10 but shipping is only via DHL ($25) but you get it in 4 to 5 days. So good if you are in a hurry. I know others who really like pcbway. They are fast.

who can wait?

A prototype is always hary for me.
BTW we,here in Greece can't use credit cards

second channel

This second channel is alive and singing but the absence of D8.C9 and R19 affect the idle current.
This can't be lower than 418mA or 0.138mV on 0.33R.
Vbe multiplayer must be recalculated?

Yes Thimios, reduce the single resistor between collector and base on the Vbe multiplier. You are using 1k2 so bring it down to 820. You need to bring it down to 120mA where it will sing at its best!

That will bring down the quiescent a lot and give you more range.

Now how is that depth of image? (you can measure this with stereo binoculars).

But you still need to use a card to fill up your PayPal account, right?
Or there is some other way of doing it?
No Valery,if you have an account to PayPal (where your credit card was connected)you never need use your credit card directly . Just pay via PayPal.It is safe,nobody can steal you money .
All these are out of usage now in Greece.
No credit cards,no PayPal......nothing!

Hi Hugh,putting a second resistor(2K2) in parallel to 1K2 (result is 776R)I endet up with 0.042V on the emitter resistor(0.33R) when trimmer 1K is at max resistance,do you think that this new resistor must be even lower?
