Notes:
-
Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape
recorders. Simply add a 10K Log potentiometer (dual gang for stereo)
and a switch to cope with the various sources you need.
-
Q6 & Q7 must have a small U-shaped heatsink.
-
Q8 & Q9 must be mounted on heatsink.
-
Adjust R11 to set quiescent current at 100mA (best measured with
an Avo-meter in series with Q8 Drain) with no input signal.
-
A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground
loops. Connect in the same point the ground sides of R1, R4, R9, C3 to
C8. Connect C11 at output ground. Then connect separately the input
and output grounds at power supply ground.
