Fewer transistors = Simpler circuit, simpler/smoother transfer characteristic and a little better performance by measurement. Something else is missing as well: No degenerating resistors on the output power Jfet. Press Release AUBURN, CA, August 10, 2020 -- The new First Watt F8 power amplifier has been created as an updated version of the earlier J2 amplifier, introduced in 2009.
Like all First Watt designs, it is a relatively low power [25W/channel into 8-ohms] simple Class A circuit, designed with an unusually low parts count. It is the 21st product from First Watt, since its founding in 1998 by the acclaimed amplifier designer and founder of Pass Labs, Nelson Pass, who treated First Watt as his “personal laboratory.”
