Re: BATTERY for filament heating

62.252.224.6

yes "dumb" but I am doing it, each valve is adjusted accordingly in my amp, that is to say the bias controlled through the driver is altered to get a satisfactory average for each tube the only thing you can't alter unless you monoblock is the B+ to each channel, but working with the bias alone you can get both tubes even.

Now I have Anrej's 6a5g's in place though I'm going to try ac heating and this will no longer be a problem. Though I love the sound of lead acid batteries they are an inconvenience. It's all that charging and disconnecting from charger for playing beloney that wears you down in the end, and the fact that only the electrically competent can use the amp. In a house where the 4 year old son has to show the 43 year old mother how to get sound out of the video this is an issue.

I'll keep chipping away for "dumb" ideas!
