QUAD 405 Vintage Current Dumping Amplifier 100W My DIY Project

This is my "remake" of first, legendary, Current Dumping Amplifier : QUAD 405.
This is one mix, my personal mix, of  his varius  release, Quad 405 I , Quad 405 II etc.

My DiY Amplifier QUAD 405

I made a stereo version with prototipe in year 2007.
Replacement components:

IC1: TLE2071 OpAmp
TR9-TR10: MJ15003

YAMAHA A-1 AMPLIFIER NATURAL SOUND DIRECT DC, FROM 70's WITH LOOK Pt.II

Pt.II

No Fault!!! 

Every component is OK, power BJT are OK!!

So I put new main chord and give power.

Both channel have some volts of offset in their output and the idle current is too low.

So, following the Service Manual I can set the correct value of bias and offset trimmers.

Next step is to change the DISC lamp

VR1-VR2: offset voltage setting trimmer

YAMAHA A-1 NATURAL SOUND AMPLIFIER DIRECT DC , FROM 70's WITH LOOK Pt.I

Not working Amplifier, Yamaha A-1 all Black metal.
I'm almost sure it is broken or it has big trouble because the main cable is cut.

Yamaha A-1

So I start, open the case.....wath I find is...Dust

Dust inside..

I remove dust from jewel...

Yamaha A-1 inside, without dust!!

Inside A-1 demonstrate his particular design, Two Power Transformers and two big capacitors.

Power amplifer circuit is splitted on 2 boards+1 an 2 Big Heat Sinks.

The input and VAS stage is a full of components board, there is also an other little board(+1) only for to mount  the Yamaha double n channel JFET 2SK100

Yamaha 2SK100  Y-K100 JFET

Next Step: let's find trouble!!!

DIY Headphone Hybrid Amplifier Schematic Simulation

To semplify last project I choose to exchange Current Generator by a simple Resistor.
Power dissipate is about 4W so this component, 60ohm, shoul be composed by 2x120ohm/5W resistors.

Semplified schematic

Distortion increase, third harmonic

Distiortion increase, Vin=1Vpk, Vout=5Vpk but the power on the Haedphone is 400mW near the maximun power admitted, 500mW.

At 3Vpk out:

3Vpk output

Hybrid Headphones Amplifier Project, ECL82 (6BM8) plus Power BJT for 32ohm Philips Fidelio X1 With Tube Distortion

I'm looking for an Amplifier to drive my new 32 ohm impedence Philips Fidelio X1 Headphones.

My personal project is illustrated below:

Static Voltages

I would have a tipical Tube Distortion, I choose ECL/PCL to drive a Big BJT witjout other BJT drivers, not only 2SC3281, maybe I'll use 2SC2337 I bought from GB but potential fake....
Q3 should be change by 2 diode 1N4148 with related R25 value.
The amplifier factor should be not high, here is 5, there is no overall negative feedback.
Below the Simulation of distortion with V2(Vin)=1Vpk, V(R6)(Vout)=5Vpk F=1kHz

Second armoni c distortion for: V2(Vin)=1Vpk, V(R6)(Vout)=5Vpk F=1kHz

I hope I'll make it soon...

Description:
HTA: Hitachi Top Amplifier
B Class Mosfet Power Amplifier, using Hitachi's Mosfets 2SK1058-2SJ162.
Input differential stage and VAS stage are like Sony's ES 90's  amplifer.
VAS is Cascode Configuration.
Output Stage use 4 devices, 2 N channel MOS and 2 P channel MOS, note the power voltage rail is NOT regulated, the signal voltage should be... anyway they must be separated.

100W Continuos Power into 8 ohm could be obtained with appropriate Power Supply
