How well it works depends on how well you hacked the design from this

link I posted (while pointing out some of the many problems with your
earlier splatterbox):

This is the first time I've been to that link.



Yeah, bull****. I've posted it four times over the years, and I'm sure
you've run across it in your quest for hackable designs.


The circuit he shows
with the two transistors is similar to mine.



Gee, what a suprise.


My feeling is that his is
needlessly more complex, but I'm sure it works.



Let's see -your- design, Brian.


I also agree with his
statements about the diode method used for tracking. That method works
a little better than no tracking and is not worth the effort.



Yet you used it in your previous amps. You even defended the design,
which is when I posted the link above. It wasn't long afterwards that
you came up with your last hack job.


This is
because putting two diodes in parallel never works right. One always
has a lower drop... and hogs.



I don't see two diodes in parallel. Time to lay off the sauce, Brian.
