      From: phil_a@tpg.com.au              "Big Bad Boob"              > /me trying to think up a rectifier + regulator circuit for negative bias       > voltage using 6AV6 or 6AT6 tube. that'd be fun.                     ** Isn't it better practice NOT to regulate the negative bias voltage fed       to OP tubes ?              Rather, just let it move up and down with the HT as the incoming AC supply       varies over time.              Keeps the plate bias current closer to constant ....                                   ....
