I was measuring 6.2ma at the 5965 cathodes. No measurable distortion difference between the CCS and the 25K resistor. I was using a 6AU6 and I also regulated the -140 at 150v with an 0A2.Now I really need to get rid of that -150v supply. Reason I am tapping bias voltage from it and the drop to 32volts is too great. I want to keep it at two power tranneys. So tonights test is a solid state CCS using a pair of 2n2222 and an LED fed with -12v. This way I can have a more reasonable bias supply that also feeds the CCS.
I considered regulating the +300 to the 5965 plate loads but with a CCS in the cathodes, it makes little sense, don't you think?
