That was fast, Aokman! All measurements made with 100 pF across the output, that feeding into a very high impedance U pad to take it down 56 dB to line level for my measurement ADC running at 192 kHz. I use 5.1k ohm buildout (safety) resistors inside the amp. I just use 100 V RMS as the nominal (100 dB SPL) because it's a convenient number. I also show the headroom in the rest of my posts. Given that it's a DAC (at 192 kHz sampling) and a sampling scope who knows what ringing lurks in the hearts of men
. I do show the 20 Hz performance in this series. I'm really not sure what the cure of the HF rise is, but I've decided to live with +1 dB at 20 kHz, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. I don't remember the DC resistance, but I did measure the reflected impedance and on the 8 ohm tap of the toroidal transformer it goes down to a miserable 2 ohms at very low and very high frequencies. So I'm using a 2 ohm 100 watt buildout resistor in series with the power amp to protect the amp, which is rated down to just 4 ohms. Did I answer all your questions?
