"Fred Nachbaur"

Hi Syl,

Nice to see you here. ("You can check out any time you like, but you can
never leave." Bwah-ha-ha!!!)


Thanks Fred !


No, it's not a major disaster waiting for a place to happen. But it
isn't true push-pull either, in a way "dual-opposed single-ended" would
be more accurate.


Ok, I got that.

OK, so far no disasters. But you won't get one of the biggest advantages
of the push-pull topology, which is cancellation of the DC component in
the transformer. You'll still have the same limitations imposed by
having a DC magnetic field in both transformers.



Oh...so that brings another question then. If DC cancellation is one
of the biggest advantage of PP ckt, what if I use a capacitor in
each branch of the OPT. I would series the OPT then insert
a cap in series of the lower and upper branch of the OPT.
Would that take care of the DC component ? I guess this
should make the OP even a bit more efficient as it will
be less likely to saturate ?


want to
...you'll have to use two 4-ohm speakers in parallel also.


Ok.


...Even a few turns difference can make the combination act
like it has shorted turns! (In other words, if you can avoid it, do!)


Ok.

Oh, that's ok. You can wonder about such things. But if you conclude
that your MOSFET amp sounds better, we'll all be scrambling to assure
you that you must have done something wrong. :-o



-hehe, I'd be waiting for that...

I know Choky fiddled with a Mosfet amp some time ago, never heard
of the results...Maybe he got rid of all his hollow state amps...Nah...

Thanks,
