Nooby question alert!
My led seems to be bad, and I was wondering If I didn't want to use any led at the moment, do I just jumper the led holes or do I have to put a resistor there or what? Thanks guys!

You don't need to do anything, just remove the LED. If you were to jumper it or add a resistor you would create major problems.

you could just put a diode in there, but that would be completely pointless, just do as hippo says.

It is a separate circuit it self, it isn't integrated into any of the other functions.

Thank you guys so much for the quick and invaluble info! The amp is done and pics is here!

Good job. Nice components. It looks like you have the bug. What are you going to build next.

Well I have two big hammonds sitting here, so Ill think about finishing the steps and putting both things inside the cases. Then comes the β22

I'm just floored at how it worked the first time, no noise or any flaws. Using two 9volts in dual power, and the bass is insane... if this is what I get out of the burr browns, then Ill be in for a treat once I roll the ad8620s in (i bit my nails lately so opamp rollings gonna wait till I find enough change to get the chip rolling tweezer)...

AD8620's are awesome, I have 2 of them in my Rotel RCD-02.

If the TLE is not populated (i think it is a rail splitter), then could I still use a tread and elpac? Right now I have two 9 volts, one set on each pair of +/- pads. It seems to be working normally in this dual power mode. If I used the tread to one pair of +/- pads would it still work? Maybe split the outputs on the tread from two to four wires? Or do I definately need the rail splitter?

You actually have a single-voltage power supply there, not a dual. The pads on the board just make it easy to set up two voltage sources in series without special wiring off-board.

Only with the TLE installed.
