I've read several threads about the Bride of Zen, and I have a question. I have seen this question addressed, but not fully answered. It concerns a couple of the transistors used on the board. I have original boards like are shown in the Pass article. The IRF 610 is illustrative. A three leg device, but only 2 holes are in the board. I know the drain also comes off the back, but what does one do with the left over drain leg? Just leave it there, cut it off, or what?
Thanks for any help clearing up this portion of the mystery for me. I found another post from someone asking the same question, the answer mainly concerned the drain connection, but not what to do with the unused leg.
Somewhere I have the original article in Audio Amateur with the article. seems like it was the same as the article over on the FirstWatt site, but I'm not finding an answer there.
