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

Sony PS-X65 DD Turntable Quartz X TAL-LOCK System Full Electronic Microprocessor Controlled Magnetic Tracking


My New entry, not working, turntable Sony PS-X65 substitue of other Sony Direct Drive Turntable
 Sony PS-X60. Only better S/N ratio for the specs, but it has more charm.

Speed is correct and Locked, both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm, in manual play it's perfect only a little trouble on the mute switch, easily solved.
In automatic play tonearm doesn't stop and doesn't retun to stop position...

Quartz X TAL-LOCK SYSTEM

It Spinning well!


It look so beautifull..

Automatic actions are guarantee by 2  electronic controlled motors, no mechanicals devices like his predecessor, PS-X60.
The Horizontal motor is used also for the correct Traking Force


There are 2 coaxial "brushless" motors: one for the lift the other,
you can see the coils, for the Horizontal Movement
