Dont mind the buzzing or hissing. This was a rehearsal recording inside a metal building. The buzzing is the snare and walls.

The difference you would notice switching from the 5% to 1% resistors would be more about the change from carbon film to metal film. The 1% are a little faster sounding, more attack.

Original SL's used a 27K bias pot. I carry stand up types in 25k and 30k. You can find the laydown variety at Mouser.com.

I'm guessing the 1% resistors you're referring to here are the Vishay/Dale resistors that you sell?

thanks

You can pull the outputs and run the amp as long as you want. There's barely any current flowing, mostly just the heaters for the preamp tubes.

Feel free to leave it on for a week.

When you pull all the power tubes, and leave the amp on for a week, do you need to have the amp hooked up to a speaker cabinet or dummy load?

When I burned mine in I hooked it up to one of my cabinets just to be on the safe side. I have also heard that it would be good that while you are doing the burn in to have a variable input running into the amp like a radio plugged into the input. I have not tried that so I cannot comment on it.
