Aleph 5

[billy]

I know that the Aleph 5 is dissipates 150 watts, can i just adjust R19 to 100 watts at idle?

Probably, but here's a real good thread that discusses optimization of an Aleph 5, with lots on the biasing: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3589

Of course, the idle power is simply the idle current times the +/- rail-to-rail voltage.

Yes you can. That will change the sound of your amp too..

In case you're not aware of it (mentioned on this forum quite a few times) .... more bias current ... more heat ... better bass ... which is what we all want, isn't it?

That's 150 W per channel, right?
