simple adaptive bias amplifier, finalized!

Hello Peep's. The following is the project that the electronics class were asked to present after the Autumn term, the beginner forum of this board contains some of the meanderings and prevarication that went on before my final design was settled. I'm posting this to save the confusion that I caused...

Re: information needed about low power amp topology

I maintain that your original circuit would have virtually no standing polarising charge and the capacitor wouldn't lead a very happy life Yes, I agree, but after you have finished moving those goalposts, this is what I was questioning: You will therefore realize that the capacitor will spend half ...

more on that capacitor!

I must admit that I'm still a little unsure about the magic that the inductor performs in this circuit, and intend to ask to use the schools oscilloscope to look at what's going on either side of the output capacitor. I have my dads old oscilloscope, but it has its own capacitor issues, so, I can't ...

Simple adaptive/sliding bias amplifier.... finalized.

OK, I was so convinced that I'd found the best solution to the amplifiers requirements that I emailed Guru Norman the circuit. Here's what he said: ....well done on the diagram Ami, that's very neat, however, I must point out a couple of mistakes. Firstly, for your current application this will be a...

Re: Thanks guys!

Well peeps, I built it and it works :D And it's all good! :P So good that to do it justice in listening tests I'm feeding it with a program of music from the line out on my CD player, (instead of the crappy MW tuner), driving a "vintage" 7" elliptical probably from an old TV set that ...

Project redux

....So peeps, I presented my work to Teach, in the sure and certain knowledge that I was going to be praised for not only being the first to finish the assignment, but also for the quality of my method exposition and practical skills. I was wrong. Very, very, wrong! :( My written work was criticised...

Re: PL36 Sweep Tube

Hi there. Dad built a self split class A P/P with two of those. It ran on quite low HT. He used this circuit as inspiration http://www.b-kainka.de/roehren/Schaltung4.gif full article http://www.b-kainka.de/roehren/gegentakt.htm. (in German) I have Dad's notebook with details of his version in but no...

Thanks guys!

Hello peeps! Thanks to a member here, who knows who they are ;) I was kindly sent two transformers that were for a small push pull transistor amplifier. The driver one was the most suitable as the sound from the output one was noticeably muffled, teach saying because it was "not gapped core&quo...

Refreshing to see a girl on any of the forums, welcome Ami enjoy your time here. Thanks Andy and all! People have already been so helpful, one day I hope to reciprocate, I find it odd that in my age group engineering interests is maybe 25% to 75% girls to boys but I've only noticed a few ladies on ...
