Pleiades single 2N3053 class A audio power amplifier with Sowter SK05s output transformer

At your risk. Feel so happy. Rediscovering the merits of larger speakers. Thank you Vicky for pointing out how good single transistor amplifiers sound. When including the output transformer the bass is huge, deep, jaw dropping even at 1/10 of a watt output. Schematic similar to Pleiades 2N3055. Bias with a 95K from collector to base. Signal path: Time - Alan Parsons Project - Sony CD Walkman line out - Pleiades 2N3053 with SK05s output transformer - Marantz Imperial 5G or KEF CS5 or Philips FWB-C155D/00. Operating conditions: Vb=12V , Ic= just 12mA. Smooth dreamy sound.
