ja onko ko toimenpiteestä hyötyä, onko modaamisen väärtti?

Hi,
I just bought a very cheap amplifier fromr thomann.de, a t.amp S75. Although it seems to be good value for the money at first (torroid transformer, good connectors, etc.), it sounds terrible at low volumes. The level of distortion is unaccpeptable, even having low demands.
The reason for that was quickly identified: An idle current at the output transistors was simple not existing, thus leding to excessive switching distorions. It is not possible to raise the voltage between the driving transitors to a level that would cause an idle current (approx. 4x0.7V) in the original configuration, even with the trimmer full clockwise. So I shunted a 10k resisor in parallel with the existing 2k resistor near the idle current trimmer (both, the 200 Ohm trimmer and the 2k resistor are between base and emiter of the small "virtual zener-diode" that defines the bias voltage between the dirves bases) which increased the bias voltage range about 20 percent.
This allows to set the bias current to a reasonable value. I chose 10mA. The switching distortions disappeart.
Hope, this helps other S75 owners...
Cheers,
Hering
