Re: LED BIAS vs LEAD ACID BATTERY

207.205.165.166

I have used nicads but still like the leads more it is in the mid were I love them.
My whole system is biased with lead acid batteries right now
That consists of
preamp-801 at 200volts on plate one 12volt lead acid on cathode
Driver -801at 520volts on plate three 12volt batteries at 45 volts on cathode
Output -2A3 320 on plate three 12volt batteries at 49 volts on cathode.
I really like the amp straight out of the CD player the best right now the preamp grounding is fun because I switch over to tran out put
And the grounding I like for cap output do's not work for tran out very good it mellowed out the pre to much, on the amp I just changed for the 826 driver which do's not work with interstages because of plate resistance to the 801 with interstage and I like this change for the moment but the 826 was a fun driver to never have had so good interstages before Intel no I like the sound of tran coupling it has such better tone and the attack of instruments
Is not all the same like caps do.
When I changed the bias of the output tube to battery the mid glare and a mid bass glare diapered which I like I love how the amp sound right now it has a very romantic sound is tone is so pretty, but the pre needs so work now
blah blah blah.
