MikeZ	Re: Dummy Load im starting to wonder if converting my biasing set up to scope and signal generator method is worth it. is it any better or worse than measuring the voltages through 1 ohm resitors (what ive been doing so far)? is there any real advantage to biasing this way? plus, how sensitive are amps (i personally have a 50W plexi) to a few mA's dfference. would there be a sound difference between say 32mA and 35mA??? buying 4 15 ohm resitors at 100W a piece is a $40 ivestment, where as buying 4 15 ohm 50 watters is a $10 ivestment (let me get back to everyone on those #'s, but im pretty sure). thanks...
