Class A amp power supply

[Jrp27]

Quick Question....

Do class A amps need a linear power supply? Or a simple Rectifier and capacitor bank should suffice?

The amp is jlh1969 amp

Thanks

If I remember correct, there's different opinions.
Maybe You can find inspiration here:
The Class-A Amplifier Site

All the best, Ebbe.

Both are same.
Maybe you thought about regulated or SMPS ?

By regulated I meant. Constant current supply.

By regulated I meant. Constant current supply.

Regulated (constant) voltage, not current.
All of the Nelson Pass class A amplifiers,
around 50W stereo, use a CRC unregulated supply.
