Influence of DC offset on bias


Hi everyone. I'm usually an observer here and hopefully learn something along the way. Can someone shed some light on my question of what if any influence or affect dc offset has on the bias of an amp. I know how to check both and have never come across an amp with identical offset on both sides; well within acceptable levels on both sides, but never the same. Also impossible to adjust them to the same level. Does this render identical bias on both sides incorrect in terms of channel balance as it affects your ears? I would greatly appreciate some insight into this.

Thank you

I have no schematics but the LSR&D amp was designed by Marshall Leach at Georgia Tech University and is the well known Leach Low TIM amp. Few were commercially produced and subsequently became a DIY project for which Dr. Leach provided parts and instructions via mail order. It's easy to find schematics for this amp just by googling. There was nothing wrong with the 559 as far as I could tell. It functioned as it should. It was just unimpressive. All of the other amps I've mentioned sound better, the Leach being the best of the lot. The Ampzillas are a close second, Bedinis third and finally the 105's but only because they begin rolling off right at 20hz. It's probably why they sound so good otherwise.

Are you realy fenomenal or you've just measured SPL to make such conclusion?

I still don't get which amp you've been trying to adjust bias? I've looked at the schematics of Superamp and it has a quiescent current stabilization(an auto-bias), but the offset is being set by Q23 in diode connection and R27 I assume at the factory only once and than sealed.
I don't know, maybe but the 105's keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for it to happen and it never does, no sub-audible bottom end at all. I adjust bias on all my amps. I have no auto bias amps. Some don't have adjustable offset. The LSR&D Superamp monos I have definitely have bias pots. There are no other ones in the circuit. The Leach Low TIM DIY circuit has had numerous upgrades over the years so you may have found an up to date version but the factory amps were few in number produced back in the late 70's-early 80's. Unfortunately and sad to say, Dr. Leach passed away this past November. Always returned his e-mails and was available to deal personally with any question you may have.
Hi Csontos . . are you experiencing differences in timbre or level between channels on some of your amps? If so, given the age of the GAS stuff, the first thing I would be looking for is dried-out electrolytics used for coupling caps, especially at the input and in the feedback ladder.
Kirkus, I'm not experiencing a problem, just searching for an explanation on why after setting bias identically, I have to then pinpoint the adjustment while listening to program material. I believe Marakanetz answered my question. All of my amps are gone over and have been recapped and upgraded throughout. However resisters are usually left alone unless they're blown so I'm assuming it stands to reason the adjustment is much more critical; or is it? You tell me. I thought a stilted offset might require a stilted bias but apparently that's not the case. The bottom line is, and whatever the reason, on every one of my amps, perfect channel balance results in a stilted condition. Very close, but stilted. The channel with more offset always has a higher bias also.
