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.
