Asics have their place when space is a premium. Costwise, discretes
can be cheaper. Also more simpler. Sometimes simpler is better.


That's the excuse Brian used for not including a regulated bias
circuit in his previous amps. He eventually took my advice (not
publically, of course) and hacked a bias circuit from a link I posted.
That's why he won't post the schematic for his current squack-box.




I made up a little encapsulated circuit I was planning on selling t oimprove
the bias on solidstate amps that had only a diode for bias, Trouble is most
CBers rip stuff like this out of an amp. "HEy man cut this wire and get 10
more watts."

Most CBers will drive a 100W-PEP amp to 100W with an AM carrier, then
wonder why they can hear themselves through the TV.

Consider most figure if it runs well at 12.5 V, it should run better
at 20V.

Well they do, for a litle while.
