this is a project based on my "One to Hundered Rule"a Quasi Zero Feedback solution compared with a gain of 26dB natural

is set to do a gain 40dB however, in order to correct the open loop

One to Hundred Rule allows a dynamic expansion excellent Linked to gain natural (open loop) And at the same time the correction of the distortion intrinsic It should be noted, however, the internal impedance mismatch The output stage with the load Because gain gap cant equalize not more This explains the large number of bipolar paralleled... In reality, the problem is also solved very well with an output transformer With a traditional Amplifier

The idea is to set the gain of the negative feedback with a value much higher than the actual gain, so as to correct only the ridges but without equalize (that without having gain spare) here is explained the output transformer to adapt the impedance (alternatively of the end platoon in parallel) and get a sound naturally expanded. The result is a lot like McIntosch: full and richly detailed.

MORE ABOUT RULE

I have invented a method to sound the amplifier in the solid state as a tubes, so reduce to a minimum the negative feedback with a rule called 1:100 Take a simple amp Ie without cascode in the input stage, without cascode stage voltage and with unity gain in the output stage (without Darlington) The open-loop gain will be approximately 27dB Set the closed-loop gain to a gain much greater 40dB (set NFB resistor's ratio one to hundred) This means doing the opposite of the traditional approach You will get a sound but not distorted, but no EQ This is because there is no longer a residual gain sufficient to correct the waveforms extensive (low frequency) In short you are listening to the real sound of your amp And you realize that the impedance matching the speaker load is scarce My solution is to adopt an output transformer more powerful than that required with very low transformation ratio (7:1) So as not to inflict emphasis on the acoustic scene and at the same time allow the device to an internal resistance adequate The result is excellent (tested on diagram Rotel RA-02 with toroidal transformer 230/32 +32 V 300VA)

If you wish to lower the feedback factor so that you can listen to the amp non-linearity better because lose equalization the attenuation factor of the feedback(and viceversa the correction factor) does not behave as you think

I speak about equalization because the negative feedback is a system of dynamic attenuation This system attempts (up where he space of action) to correct the deficiency by the load current increasing the voltage This happens on the frequencies of large amplitude that the bass where there is no output stage is really capable (large parallel end devices es.TIP35)

CONCLUSIONS
Set the gain over the threshold of the ring opened (in nearly zero feedback area) allows: exclude the phenomenon that generates emphasis equalization, thereby contaminating the signal and distorting the scene then to concentrate the work of dynamic correction only on the distortion Maximizing the effectiveness of the system, making it sound close to sublime.
