That said, youll want to mount it on a breadboard, these are PCB mounters.

Just type in manufacturer's p.n. 229D24 (Mouser is 546-229D24)
Less expensive than Digikey.
(3 lefts, don't steal all of them before I place my order, pls!)

The "iron" has 4 holes...... maybe we can use some plastic stand off.

How off are your Leds? Tell us about DC offset. If that is fortunately acceptable in combination with your final V+/-, then you don't really need to touch the Leds again.

What about the rest of your system, what you had before in the line control position and how it changed the sonics now?

no offset, my multemeter reads 0v on the millivolt setting. The led strings are 5.7 for the css, and 9.1 for the vref matched very closely each side.

The preamp consists of a r2r remote vol control > DC B1

This then feeds a push pull el84 amp (baby huey). It then feeds some KEF q5's, although i am building some brines ft1600 mkII (fostex 167e).

how did it change the sonics? Deeper soundstage, slightly better seperation. Slightly (ever so slightly) cooler presentation. Clarity is the word.
