Unfortunately, the core transistor K170 was discontinued in later production, and substitutes like the K246 or K30 could not fully restore its beautiful sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eIn 2024, we sourced original Toshiba replacement transistors from overseas that perfectly match the characteristics of the K170. Each SMD package contains two matched 2SK transistors, eliminating the need for manual pairing and offering even lower distortion. The output stage employs two pairs of Toshiba 2SC5200 and 2SA1943 driver transistors, capable of delivering up to 15A peak current—far outperforming digital amplifiers and the LM3886. The circuit includes comprehensive protection: over-temperature, output over-voltage, and delay startup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003ePremium components are used throughout: genuine transistors, German WIMA capacitors, 1% precision resistors with copper leads, Japanese Omron relays, and a dual-layer PCB with immersion gold plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePCB Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184 x 122 mm\u003cbr data-filtered=\"filtered\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e AC 18V x 2 to AC 28V x 2\u003cbr data-filtered=\"filtered\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70W @ 8Ω \/ 100W @ 4Ω\u003cbr data-filtered=\"filtered\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Band:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–40 kHz\u003cbr data-filtered=\"filtered\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Capacitor Mounting Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 mm\u003cbr data-filtered=\"filtered\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 868 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very simple. After ensuring correct soldering, power on and adjust the variable resistor so that the voltage across the TEST points is 20–40 mV. This corresponds to a quiescent current of 100–300 mA. Turning left reduces the current; turning right increases it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/2367\/2112\/files\/image-21.webp?v=1775879755\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/2367\/2112\/files\/image-1-5.webp?v=1775879780\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/2367\/2112\/files\/HDAM_-_-_-1080x1536.webp?v=1775879796\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GoMakerHive: Ignite Your Spark into a Blaze.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66511453651248,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/2367\/2112\/files\/image-20.webp?v=1775879503","url":"https:\/\/gomakerhive.com\/products\/classic-reproduction-maran-hdam-sweet-vocal-amplifier-audiophile-grade-amplifier-board-with-original-field-effect-input-transistors","provider":"GoMakerHive: Ignite Your Spark into a Blaze.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
