Pleiades BD650 one Darlington transistor power amplifier in single ended Class A

 At your risk. A suitable fuse must be in series with any battery for safety. Protect your ears from high SPL. There is a broadband click sound when turning off the amplifier.

It sounds very nice. Drums sound like the real thing.

Singal path: 

On the Border - Al Stewart (on origianl CD) - Sony CD Walkman line out - Marantz Imperial 5G (one speaker so far)

Power supply is just 12V from a 1.3AH lead acid battery. 

Ic is 120mA. So power output should be less than 1W.

Output hand wound transformer is about 3 to 1. So from an 8 ohm speaker the amp sees about 

8 ohms x 3 x 3= 72 ohms. Air gap is by gluing one layer of scitch invisible tape across the stacked Es.

The transformer used on this prototype is rather big.

Bias is by a resitor from collector to base.

There is a 50uF film wound input capacitor.

And a variable series resistor (rheostat)  connected to base for volume control.

It should be nice making 2 such monoblocks inside a transparent plexiglass box powered by 8 AA batteries in series with a suitable fuse.

Everything is Beautiful, Όλα Είναι Όμορφα

At your risk. Με δική σας ευθύνη.

Γυρνώντας από σπίτια

Με πολύχρωμα απαλά ροζ, πορτοκαλί φώτα

Έχοντας περάσει θαυμάσια

Κατηφορίζεις με το απαλό αεράκι της δροσερής νύχτας

Με τισ μουριές να θυμίζουν 

Απο τη γλύκα που γεύτικες

Που σου έδωσε απλόχερα κάτι που στερήθηκες μικρός

Και νέος μένεις όμορφος

Με απίστευτο ταχίνι ολικής

Κακαό 100% και χουρμάδες βασιλικούς

Δίπλα σου στο μετρό

Κάθεται μια κυρία όμορφη

Με μιά μανώλια στα δύο χέρια

Που μυρίζει αρχή καλοκαιριού

A speaker that repairs the sound field ie acoustics of a room?

 At your risk.

For example taking 4 ply linoleum sheets of 2.5mm thickness each and glueing them together with PVA.

Then mounting a woofer and tweeter. Connecting and inductor in series with woofer in order to reduce mid heaviness and a capacitor in series with resistor in series with tweeter until A Woman in Love - Barbara Streisand sounds like listening to the Sennheiser HD-580 headphones.

Hopefully the panel used as speaker baffle acts also as membrane bass absorber.

Jasmine

 

Nothing smells like Jasmine

An outdoors photographic exhibition

Surrounded by jasmines

I forgot the photos

And concentrated on smelling jasmines

Nothing smells like Jasmine
