I had no idea they were the first ever Conan musical guest. Talk about starting on a high note!

I think it is a Specialized Prospero. Was on sale at the local bike shop in town.

i looked at the ltspice file for a bit. best guess is that there is something wrong with the jfet model that causes issues. replace the fets with bipolar and see if it works right. the reason all the darlington transistors are on the heatsink is so they can thermally track. effects thd. another thing that really effects the thd is the power supply rails. anything under +/-20v is too low and causes much higher distortion. +/-30v is the sweet spot. and once you do that, you end up with an amplifier that is a lot more than 5 watts. in your second schematic, you have taken out the low impedance load on the output of the current mirrors. lots more voltage gain resulting in required high amounts of feedback. definitely not the original design goals. if you want lots of open loop gain, probably best to pick a different design. as far as the bias servo, would have to see thd with and without it.

For what it's worth jury still out here too and much of that depends, of course, on what the eventual payoff is. I probably have a different relationship to sci-fi, and first episode isn't my favorite, but some of the theories out there* about what the show is truly about, takes me back all the way to weekly discussions during Twin Peaks' initial run (which may have never been resolved). Certainly feels like what Severance seemed to be for others and wasn't for me. A lot of this is trust, as you implied, with Vince. . . . . . * spoilers kinda . One of the theories, unlikely, but interestingly, is it's about individual (warts & all) love versus universal love. . . . . . spoilers likely . Another is that there are not only two teams in play.
