JLH 10 Watt Class A Amplifier
This is a copy of the original John Linsley-Hood article that appeared in Wireless World in 1969. This design, almost 50 years old, is still built in its hundreds all over the world. A quick root around on the web will show numerous kits, many of quite acceptable quality, emanating from China and Hong Kong.…
Class A Buffering the Correct Way
Here’s a simple way to force an opamp output stage to run in class A when used with a discrete buffer output stage – it takes just 1 resistor to provide a near constant current source load. Operating the opamp (and the output buffer stage) in class A dramatically reduces harmonics on the power rail…
Output Coupling Inductors
Inductors on the output of an amplifer are used to isolate the amplifer from capacitive loads at HF and ensure stability. There has been quite some debate on DIYaudio.com as to whether they are audible, necessary, or just the result of designers being overly cautious. Some very well known designers in the field have decided against using…
