Simple Class A Power Amplifier by IRF530

I was in need of high quality headphones amplifier because of many reasons and decided to build SDS Labs phone amp. This is extremely rewarding project in a sense that it is fully documented, includes PCB, parts list and building notes – so it’s easy to build and then it sounds great.

I have used IRF530 and IRF9530 pairs and they work just fine given the fact that you add 100-300 Ohm gate resistors to prevent high frequency oscillations. This is a common problem for MOSFET designs and if you don’t have a good oscilloscope or want to be on the safe side just use gate resistors on any MOSFET design. Ferrite beads put over gate pin could also be used instead but I somehow prefer resistors.
