As requested a seperate thread on transformer based solid state amplifers.
The schematic:
... and what it looks like in practise ...
Everything to the right is power supply, and everything from the middle is amplifier.
See: http://www.susan-parker.co.uk/zeus.htm for more details.
This amplifier is based on Impedance Amplification and has similar distortion characteristics to valve triode designs.
It is relativly easy to build and only has one twiddle pot to set the bias level. The pic shows a monoblock which I built nearly ten years ago and it has not needed adjustment since.
Best wishes,
Susan.
P.S. Yes, it does work.
