Hi,
I generally do not like sand in my amps, especially not in the current loops.
I'm not using just 'any' filament bias resistors (see pic). These are silver wire wounds from AudioConsulting (Switzerland) I use for the first stage. I use a Kiwame resistor in the second stage.
Yes, its still a bit noisy, but not more so then the $250K Kondo M10 I once had. My records are generally noisier ;)
Quick question. When using diodes in the cathode... Am I correct that this will not influence the Zout of the stage? That would be a great benefit compared with cathode/auto bias.
Thanks,
NC
