Back to Pleiades single ended 2N3055 audio power amplifier with single transistor 2N3055

At your risk.

Bias resistor has been disconnected from collector and connected to power supply Vb.

Now as Vb was increased from 12V to 24V to 36V to 48V with corresponding increase in Ia, increase in loudness could be heard.

With the Pleiades 64Ohms to 8 Ohms output transformer used, typical good sounding condition is:

Vb=12V, Ic=70mA.

Vb=24V, Ic=113mA

Vb=36V, Ic=150mA

Vb=48B, Ic=200mA

But there is some kind of graininess to the sound.

Is this coming from the Walkman CD source or from the power amplifier?
