Keep us posted on your progress! I've spent a bit of time reading that paper, but I didn't find many circuits that seemed right (read: simple and easy to implement) for modifying existing amps. It seems like most of the info in that paper is geared toward being integrated into a completely new design, but I'm not an expert in converting amps by any means. I've mostly been leaning towards a straightforward voltage regulator/diode-clamp combo circuit, but so far I've only modified one amp (KL300p) and it seemed easiest to go with just the simple diode-clamp by itself mostly due to size constraints.. So far that mod has worked perfectly, so my next move will be attempt to build the circuit in post 128 with as many SMD components as I can, but I'm mostly a thru-hole solderer, not much experience with surface mount so we'll see how it turns out.

EDIT: LOL.. somehow previously I missed the stripped down 723 circuit on page 13.. That's a good one from what I've read in this thread and a few others, but I'm a bit curious what advantages it has over just a simple LM317 or 78XX regulator circuit with a diode clamp..

Plus there are some really good bits of info towards the end of the paper. The more I've read tonight the more I'm realizing I should have been more thorough in my reading before.. Very good stuff there!
