Next Power Amplifier based on Sony Esprit Series Using No Negative Feedback Architecture


I'm traying to make an amplifier following example of Sony TA-N902 Esprit Sere, the last aftre TA-N900 mono and TA-N901 stereo.
Sony's Esprit  amplifier all haven't Negative Feedback, they had a Voltage Amplifier Stage made by discrete components, which has his proprer feedback and a current stage located out the loop, This architecture decrease the TIM distortion. To minimize THD Sony used his own  patent concerning non-switching power devices, the stage also remain a AB class but  results similar to pure class A.



3D of the  Voltage Amplifiere Stage





Some amplifier are been used as example for schematic or as  components donor.

Power supply is from a PLPS from an old TA-F80,electronic components for VAS are coming from a TA-F500, the chassis is given by a broken Behringer A500.
Other components are new and PCB are made by myself.



Current Amplifier 3D


I used a lot of SMD components, all with 1206 dimension

Soon I'll show the complete work

DIY DC/DC Dual Boost regulated Power Supply for High Voltage Tube VAS


In relation to DIY Hybrid amplifer the first step is to obtain the High Voltage for tube's anode supply and the low voltage for heaters.

Sometimes, if not always, fora a 100W amplifier you have a double sec 150-300VA  36-0-36Vac power transformer only.
Using this board you can adjust the  needed voltage for tube stage starting from your transformer.
Without use any voltage doubler and linear regulators.




The Following image shows how the Double Boost works.
From unregulated  +55/0/-55Vdc the circuit gives at his output the needed voltage, able to supply the anode current for a tube stage.
For example you can obtain +90/0/-90Vdc and 6.3Vdc for the heaters..
