Re: LED BIAS vs LEAD ACID BATTERY

Not sure where you are doing this.

I tried LED on the cathode of input stages is that what you did? Sounded abismal. resistors are much nicer sounding whether bipassed or not. The soundstage from led's shrank right back to the speakers, lost all dimentionality. YUK. threw the lot out (I'd collected some from disposable cameras). No place for them in my amps.

Battery bias I have only tried on the grid, I'm doing that now, seems OK, but I think I'll just make a rectified bias supply when I eventually box this amp for convenience sake.
