In Reply to: What size bleeder resistor to drain filter caps? posted by RioTubes on January 27, 2007 at 10:24:02:
> I plan to solder some clips on the resistor leads to make it handy.A bleeder resistor resides in the circuit permanently and prevents the need to do what you're suggesting. Bleeders also improve regulation. If only for reasons of safety, that's how all tube amplifiers should be built.
