too much parts
Haha
First Némésis was inspired by Western Electric 25B amplifierhttps://www.westernelectric.com/static/library/specifications/amplifiers/25b-amplifier.pdf
Can You show us Tokin version photos how minimal number components inside is ? Thanks in advance
Some of this 1920 WE amps work despite a century age is incredible.
Big SIT transistors can do longer time

Western Electric 7 A part 8
Westrrn Electric 7A part2
nothing very different than the papa sitnemesis, parts are
one pair of input cap grid choke instead of transformer input ( matter of taste)
a pair of Thf51S instead of the semisouth VFET
a pair of TANGO output transformer
a pair of TL431 bias power supply
a pair of CLC 100K 10MH 100K for the power supply
and that's it..

6sn7 前級+WESTERN ELECTRIC 25B(205D)+LOWTHER AUDIOVECTOR

WE 7A ( see amp inside picture ) similar but not the same to Mr. Pass CSX1 vfet.
WE 25B make me think back to Mr.Rothatcher " Iron Amp "

Yes we can rather name this "amplification stage with autoformer output".
In "L'Audiophile" nr 41 edition from 1987 was Némésis show compared old (ancien) generic output transformer
performance with updated Tango FG50S version , a much better one
Mr. Hiraga says without feedback this amp is excellent for mid-highs in bi-amplified systems.
He use metaphores about audio and amplifiers
" Distiled water is chemicaly pure but many peoples appreciate natural water directly from the source "
" Contemporary producers make them with complex circuits, small size, little weight and cold
but some peoples find music is more beautyful from minimalistic circuits, bigger hardware, heavy and who run hot "

I finished the amp with very simple circuit. The signal path through only two parts (the vfet 2SK180 and the OPT Tango FG-50S).
The self bias with the big 1 Ohm resistor connect to the source pin and the small 47K resistor connect to the gate in to ground. So, my amp circuit have only 4 parts: 1 vfet, 2 resistors and 1 OPT.
There is only one single main power supply (LCLC filter - without regulation), the amp running with Vds = 25Vdc / Id = 2.9A.
The OPT connected 1:1 ratio
I tried to use the red copper and Arctic silver 5 thermal grease so the temp on the vfet only 42 degrees after 80 minutes warm up.
Some images and hope all of you love it....
Thanks!
P/S: I will match this amp with my ATC SCM7 V3 loudspeakers and make some review later...

Tango FG-50S connect 16 Ohm will have 4Agreat ! i run mine at different ppoint 60V 1.4A , don't you think that 2.9A can saturate the Tango OPT
