If I put my notes here, I might be able to find them again later!
Marantz discrete op amp (line stage or headphone amp)
Last one for today.
I was having problems getting this to work, the key seems to be adjusting R6 to null the voltage offset. Works fine now, but this is just a rough reverse engineer of the diagram, the parts values and the type of transistors are essentially placeholders.
The input jFET is shown as a dual package. The output bias current is most likely much lower than the 100 mA I configured, so the class A output power is proportionately smaller. For the rest of the currents and the types of transistors used, your guess is as good as mine.
edit: R7 should most likely be closer to 47 ohms, while another 5p capacitor should go in parallel with the feedback resistor, R17.

You might have to adjust R6 a lot less if you substitute a diode connected BC547c for D1. As is you get uneven contributions from each side of the diff pair.Posted 11th November 2013 at 05:48 AM by mirlo

I'll look into that. Thanks!Posted 11th November 2013 at 01:00 PM by rjm

Why are R4 and R6 such drastically differently values? Shouldn't they be the same?Posted 21st January 2014 at 12:08 PM by FoMoCo
