thank man
if I made the Sprint file you don't mind if I share the files here so other can have it a and try it out Best Regards

Hey!. Its all for share and its all Mr. Miles design. Thats why I posted eagle files. Sure go ahead. You will will make a beautiful job of it, I am sure. Here are the updated protect eagle files.
Already populating 3-pair DC servo mosfet amp. Awaiting some components
. Once tested I will share those files too, for DIY.reg

I will make Sprint 6 file for friends here so they can have fun
thanks for sharing sir

Yes. My feeling is PSU can be improved. e.g. quasimodo circuit (suggested by rsavas), higher filter capacitance in CRC configuration and MUR1560 diodes + some local decoupling, it could be much better. Mr. Miles can suggest/ make improvements.

I believe this combination F100/F100-PSU was designed for PA use so ultra clean filtering was not the goal. I think durability, power and compactness was the rule. This PSU has an additional 24v out for a fan and also a +-12-15V out to supply a pre or something. A very useful setup just not ultra clean. Of course there is nothing stopping someone from upping the filter caps to higher values if desired.

Yes F100/F100-PSUwas designed for PA and there is clip leds and OCL protect...
Tested the amp. sound is nice, neutral (only test speakers now). I didnt have proper ceramic caps, used 22p instead of 10 p across the MPSA B-C. The blue ceramic caps used are 1kV and dont know if they are suitable.
three problems,
1. there is hiss when sound is muted. should I remove the 2r2 ground lift and connect i/p ground directly to psu?
2. during changeover from one music track to next track, there is a thump noise.
3. minor problem is that there is a start thump, which a speaker delay will eliminate.

DC offset with the i/p shorted is 0.6 mV. And yes, there is same amount of hiss even when i/p is shorted.
The hiss/hum I am talking about, to hear it, I need to be pretty close to the speaker ~10-15 cm.
Yes, you are right. The thump (during track change) gone when I changed the source (mobile). Funny thing, I had used the same source , for my previous builds w/o such a problem.

Nice work... remove 2R2 and connect input ground directly to psu ground.

Removing the 2r2 and connecting i/p gnd to psu gnd solved the problem. There is still a minor hum when ear is next to woofer, but not audible even from 10cm away.
connected to proper speakers, slight start-up thump, other than that no unwanted behavior. sound is very nice. bass is good 
Once I get correct value NPO/C0G caps, I will change to the recommended values and install rest of the pairs and listen again.
bias that I set-up is 32mV across the emitter resistor pair, everything is cool.
even with only single pair, with 32V supply, its loud !, even at very low pot volume setting. I can only imagine what will happen at 3 pairs, 70V .

Thanks Mr. Mile for letting me know.
As I said I will install rest of the pairs, correct caps and then listen again.
Should I increase the bias, as these are MOSFETS. Currently, I have it at 32 mV across the emitter resistor pair.
