I use the PEC (which I believe were mentioned earlier).
And FWIW, I have attached the fixed bias circuit I use. Stable and no issues. (Based on suggestions from Jack Elliano at Electra-Print.)

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Seems like a lot of people take the bias voltage from the wiper.
I do in my personal designs, however the advice to add R2 was a good one and I am doing that in my few designs intended for commercial use.
As I mentioned earlier the RV4LAYSA pots are long term reliable, I use PEC or Ohmite bard. (Digikey stocks these as you already know)
Since you don't need to supply any grid current at all 50K should be fine.

Who one Earth told you that? A few milliamps of DC through a carbon pot that is hardly ever used is nothing. Less than nothing. Yeesh, only on an audiophool forum could people make such a meal out of a bias pot.
You're both rude and wrong. They seem to coexist often.
