Do all tube preamps leak DC?


 I want to pair an Audible Illusions L1 tube preamp with a Job 225 amp. Although both pieces have high gain, the gain can be reduced manually via two gain controls on the L1 preamp coupled with a master volume control. But here is my concern, the Job 225 amplifier has a Direct Coupled circuit that could potentially pass damaging DC leakage on to the speakers. So the question remains, do all tube preamps pass DC to one degree or another, specifically the Audible Illusions tube preamp?

Erik, cap upgrades, maybe Mundorf.

Steroeo5, I'm willing to bet that even though the M3a has no gain adjustment, it is probably more detailed because the sound travels through less pots.
Actually, if you wanted to get a very nice bypass cap, here's one

You'd put it in parallel with your existing caps. Give 48 hours of play time.

I've not tried them in electronics but in speakers they are excellent. :)


Hi Paul,  you could have called me on the phone with these concerns,  however,  I see Eric_squires  has answered you as thorough as I would have,  cheers.
