What sort of HT should I use on NE5532s?

Hi Wally - we're at different ends of the spectrum here!

Ever so slightly. :-)


I have no
convenience features - just hair shirt circuits with best parts. Good
luck!

Thanks. I have taken an interest in valve circuits, though more from a
guitar amp perspective. I used to build my mess-about preamp circuits on
bits of wooden plank - bang in panel pins at strategic locations, run tinned
copper wire between the pins to 'draw' a schematic, and then solder sockets,
valve bases and pots on top of the pins as needed. Had some good fun playing
with biassing to bring out the 2nd harmonic distortion, but found that that
particular sound wasn't what I was after in a valve guitar amp (no 'rip' - I
like a distorted amp to lie somewhere between chainsaw and endless sustain).
