Studio Reference Amplifier

Hello Mr. Miles, I have little problem with SR55 from last few days, when I plugged on SR55, bias and DC offset in high range and speakers produce little sound just like humming. After 15-30 minutes Bias and DC offset stable. Bias when amplifier start time 20-22mv and DC offset 200-300mv. After 15-30 minutes Bias 12mv(exactly I set on it) and DC offset between 0 - 5 milivolts , multimeter set on 200mv range. That both reading with short and open input. I use c2383/a1013 in place of bf420/bf421, Volts in BD139 Emitter to collector 2.30V.
Please solve my problem.

Hello sir

Hi very beautiful pcb .1st set u multimeter on 200 mili volt and check across emmiter resistor then tune trimpot on 5-10 mili volt according your heatsink . Leave set on after 30 minutes check again set on again.. 2nd type set u multimeter on 2 volt base to emmiter voltage max 570 mili volt.


And coil link Construction of a Zobel network for audio amplifier - YouTube. Here u see how make coil

Theres something about the treble of the SR200 my "blameless" amp just can't reproduce.

One of my favourite amps

SR200 build:
Found 2 layouts/silks saved on my drive,
- one has 3x 2SC5200 and 3x 2SA1943
- one has 6x 2SA1943 ???
Both transistors have the same package. Did not check the other components.
The first version looks like more genuine, the second might reveal a simple copy/paste error (?).
