Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Ah, that's more interesting, then.

Any suggestion as to the follower resistor value? That's not specified in the MOSFET Follies, although a 220 ohm gate stopper IS suggested. As a very rough quick and dirty calculation, the plate voltage in my SCA-35 phono stage runs around 200 volts with a 260 volt B+, so a 100 kilohm follower resistor should give a bit less than 2 mA through the MOSFET, which will result in a resistor dissipation of 0.4 watts (use a 2 watt resistor) and a MOSFET dissipation of 0.12 watts which should be safe. Of course I tend to design conservatively. Not a great deal of current drive but certainly better than the 12AX7.
