TESTING

I did some testing and took some pictures of my oscilloscope.

I am *VERY* pleased with this circuit.... high headroom, nice sound.... large output swing... 27 Volts peak to peak sine wave!!!! Man, this would bring any DAT into submission! Resistance is futile. In decibels, that's +30dBu Outputs!

And even at 100 Kilohertz, the sine wave still looks sweet. And oh yeah, it can go down to as low as 10Hz.... no problem with headroom and frequency response here.

27Volts peak-to-peak @ 1Khz


27Vpp @ 10Khz


22Vpp @ 100Khz

100 Kilohertz... all the bats and dogs in your neigborhood will hate you for it!

And some square waves

33Vpp at 1Khz

Great waveforms.

33Vpp @ 10Khz

The rise time is alright, but the falling edge is kinda slow.... Still alright I think.

22Vpp @ 100Khz


Okay, that last shot there at 100Khz doesn't look anywhere near a square wave. But only dogs and bats would complain.
