made some pcb for jlh some time back but dint get time to build it

Today received Heatsink for my JLH project,(500mm)
Thanks for the FMs for guiding to Perfect Metals, Bangaluru
Very slow in progress.

what is the optimum spacing between 2N3055 placed horizontally in Heatsink , such in JLH

While proper biasing at 1.2A for 8 ohm speakers is important for good performance, it can also lead to heat generation in JLH amplifiers, especially if using horizontal heat sinks. This might cause some to run a cooler amplifier by under-biasing it, but that can negatively impact sound quality and stability.

Horizontal heat sinks: These can be less effective at dissipating heat compared to vertical heat sinks due to reduced airflow.
Proper bias current: 1.2A for 8 ohm speakers is a recommended bias current for JLH amplifiers for optimal performance.
Heat generation: JLH amplifiers can get hot, especially with horizontal heat sinks and proper bias current.
Under-biasing: Running a JLH amplifier with lower than recommended bias current may lead to cooler operation but can also cause distortion and instability.

Hello,
Here is my JLH built from the original 1969 schematic with a power supply modification due to limited space in the box I picked up from the junkyard.
The solid brushed aluminum case isn't just there for looks. The integrated high-performance coolers ensure stable operation even during the longest listening sessions.
