i accidently soldered q1 and q2 on to the ppa board, even though i am not ready to bias the amp to class A yet (still waiting for opas and buffers to arrive and make sure the amp sounds fine).

will this affect the circuit at all? i mean it's a pain to remove them. and i was thinking that because r9 is open, no current would flow. so i can technically leave it on as long as i dont add or short r9. is my thinking correct? or should i remove q1 and q2?

You are correct, no need to remove those FETs.

thanks morsel!

R10 should be removed also

Oops, I confused R9 with R10.

I should have actually looked at the schematic. PPL is right of course, it is R10 that connects the CCS to the opamp.
