Threshold 400A transistors
Does anyone know what type of transistor should be used for Threshold
400A? Also looking for a recommended upgraded type of transistor(250w). I have a semi-conductor test set to match but dont want to buy a hundred TO-3's to get closely matched sets. I think it may use a MJ15012 output @200w ea What would be a good 250w transistor in lieu of the 200w for this amp? |

They now have MJ21193/4 that are higher power complementary pair with the latest diffusion technology. Might not be stable in an old design though, due to higher ft. http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/MJ21193-D.PDF If your output stage is simply NPN only ( quasi-complementary ), I suggest that a new amp may be in order if you value sound quality.

Do the amplifier transistors have current limiting resistors -- usually 0.2
ohms -- these will help balance the load if you are using unmatched devices. I have a few hundred of the 21193/94 devices in stock -- if you need matched let me know. http://www.tech-diy.com/hexfets.htm "John" wrote in message om...
