Simple DIY Linear PSU
Kleinstein:
Combining different power transistors in parallel is not that great and would need more emitter resistance.
The BD241C should be OK, at least for lower power (about 20 W per transistor).
Less current and only 1 transistor should be OK too.

I 've split it in two PCBs, in the attachment you will find my Eagle (7.7.0) files:
1. main pcb.
2. power section, contains the power transistors' section

-I removed the BC557 so now Q2 = S8550
-I removed the D209Ls and I put one D1408
I get the same measurements.
I use an LM358. It's voltage at pin 8(in respect to pin 4) is 9.69V.
With or without load.

OT: It has been demonstrated many times here the LTspice gives pretty good results with DIY linear PSU simulations.. :-+

What are the CV op-amp's input voltages for the 3 loads? Also Q1's Base voltage.
