    Inconsistent Vgs when matching output MOSFETs (Class A amp repair)

    Hi all, I’m repairing a Class A MOSFET amplifier with a blown channel. One N-channel output MOSFET was found shorted. Each channel uses three N-channel and three P-channel MOSFETs. I initially replaced the failed device, but when checking the channel with thermal imaging, I noticed that one...

    Building the John Linsley Hood JLH 1969 Class A audio amplifier

    There is a channel on YouTube called Steve's Trivia by an interesting old fella named Steve Wagner. He did a video series on the JLH 1969 amplifier. I thought to email him and ask for a trade and see if he was interested in making a few videos on the Mike Bitner amplifier called Symasym. Wagner...

    M-60 Class A Bias Question

    Hey, just a simple question here, is the 110mv +- 10 number given in the SM correct for class A bias on the M-60? I've noticed, of the several I've seen, they always seem to top out around 85-90mv. Hoping someone with a bit more engineering knowledge may be able to weigh in...

    4 Transformers in a 2 Channel Amp?

    Does anyone know why a 2 channel amp would have 4 transformers in it rather than just 2 or 1? I'm going to try and attach a screenshot I took from Bedini's webpage that shows the internals of their Dual Mono 100/100. Usually I only ever see 1 or 2 transformers in a 2 Channel amp. I have a...

    Pioneer M-22; Worth a Repair Attempt?

    Greetings AK denizens, I recently purchased a Pioneer M-22 on Ebay and am in a bit of a quandry. The first few times I flipped the switch it refused to turn on (no LED, no relay clicking, and no output on the terminals). I then plugged the cord into a different outlet and it powered up. In...

    What is "Pass A30?" Is it genuine?

    I found this monoblock amp on Ebay. The description says "Finished Pass A30 Mos Single-ended Class A Power Amplifier Mono 30W HiFi Amp". So, is that a true DIY version of Pass Labs XA30.5? Or is that just a crappy Chinese amp with the name "Pass" and "A30" slapped in to fool people? As far as I...

    Yamaha CA-800 - restoration - few questions

    Hi, I got this Yamaha. Decided to do basically full restoration. Now I read that the two microswitches for ClassA/Normal operation are a weak point and it's a good idea to change them. What exactly do they do? I can see red and orange cable coming from the transformer. Red brings 30V, Orange...

    Considering the Threshold 400A...

    Hi all, I am currently running a Kenwood 700M into a pair of Tannoy 12" Golds, which I am happy with. I've encountered a Threshold 400A, a class A amplifier that I am considering, simply because people seem to rave about it. Somehow, this feels like a big leap to consider. 400A receives huge...

    The BSTRD - Class A Tube Pre and PSU, with Eagle Project Files

    There was a strange little thing that appeared in Danish magazine Ny Elektronik (New Electronics) in 1989. A very simple preamplifier that used two L63 tubes in Class A with no feedback and it operated pretty much badly out of spec. (It was supposed to though, that was the whole angle of the...

    Top choices, vintage or otherwise, excelling at low volume clarity and soundstage and able to drive current demanding relatively inefficient speakers (Kef 103.2 Reference, 8 ohm, 86 dB/1m). 60 watts and above preferred.
