Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonThe bleeder resistor across the last cap in my power supply has a pretty big influence on the sound of my amp. If you could get away without using it, it might be a nice improvement in sound. Or if... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonBill, In my power supply the bleeder serves only to bleed voltage out of the caps when the amp is turned off. In some power supplies bleeders serve other protective functions. Please make sure you ... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
