There you go again with your: "I\'m better than you are." crap. You just can\'t stand to give anyone credit for their accomplishments, no matter how small, can you, you miserly wretch? JF

In my first post I have said that I have not done analog electronics since a long time ... which is true !

;-) Anyway, no problem, we can continue ...

Olivier

Instead of trying to make him seem like the heavy for not posting what is essentially irrelevant, why don\'t you just apologize for being an asshole? JF

But your attitudes are incorrect. Do you really expect an experimenter having fun to become a pro designer because you demand it?

Should work fine.

Utter hog-wash. Any old cap within the ratings is good enough. Your circuit is nice enough for playing around with but doesn't merit any gold-plated components.

Waste of money, see above.

Since Olivier stated early on that he's a beginner you could have said the above earlier and far more politely.

His

magic

The point is that it's HIS circuit. And it has some potentially interesting variations. IF you allow yourself to think.

John

He wants to play with discrete components, not just clone a reference circuit for an IC.

Far too few people even know how to design with transistors and resistors and capacitors any more. They just connect boxes, or tweak eval board circuits.

John

These look interesting too.

The H. C. Lin amplifier from 1956 started the whole Class AB (B?) thing, eh?

a.. to accept responsibility in making decisions consistent with the safety, health and welfare of the public, and to disclose promptly factors that might endanger the public or the environment;

a.. to avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest whenever possible, and to disclose them to affected parties when they do exist;

a.. to be honest and realistic in stating claims or estimates based on available data;

a.. to reject bribery in all its forms;

I guess that rules out aforementioned Bush and co.

Yes, its a small garden, with horse radish and parsnips, about 1.2m X 1.3M, that Bode cultivated when he became a vegan.

Indeed, its quite stable though...no need to plant any vegetables.

Don't be silly. It's where Bode is buried.

John

Good grief, people keep building minor variations on the same circuit for, what, 45 years now?

John

More like 52 going on 53, looks like...

Oh well, it's either that or Class A...

Any progress on reducing the distortion in high-power Class D amps yet?

Michael

Or, Heaven forbid, a few new ideas?

John

have

Oh, I doubt John Fields will allow that. He's a sad old git who will just shout me down now. Shame since I could have taught you the whole gamut of output stage operational ranges.

Awww...

And now you won't because I made you cry, poor baby, and it's my fault that you won't help Olivier?

Grow up.
