Colin, thanks for a job well done on the Max Hybrid board! Got mine a few days ago.

Hi Tom, I only mentioned the 5 jacks to clarify the minimum needs for buffer biasing. I originally wasn't going to bother with biasing ports, more or less for the reasons you mentioned. However, it is becoming more of an issue...

A couple of comments on Tomb's tip jack biasing scheme... because I'm muddling through some kind of solution I can live with but I'm not there yet. 1) I did that for my old Millett's tube bias but not the dDB bias points. The DrewD...

Rob, RA8 has enough room as long as you use the standard MKP cap or a smaller part, even without stripping the insulation from the SIP pin:

The best way to tune the LED is to just try different resistors with it until you are happy. You can do this with a spare LED, resistor(s) and a battery. Try 5KR and 7KR for starters. RadioShack sells a pack of jumpers terminated...
