LOL! Oh yeah, for me now it's all about replacing red LEDs with blue ones, particularly those really intense ones. :)

Hey Filterlab! Those blue LEDs are nice indeed. My Little Dot MKII has one and it is very intense. It lights my late-night listening sessions perfectly.
There's something so 'right' about blue LEDs. :)
There will be a couple of them winking at you chez-moi soon enough ;)

Oooh, I love the blue!
I had the blue LED replaced with a green one in the AOS classic amp. I don't like blue LEDs at all. They are the visual equivalent of a bright and fast sounding system.
I disagree. Blue is cool, especially the 'pin sharp' ones on the EA1s, but for best sound no lights are the way to go as LEDs chuck noise into the circuit.
One of the (many) mods I had done to my preamp recently was to disable the existing LEDs.
In summary: LEDs are for gayboys :lolsign:

Err, have you any links to describe how LED's do that?Quote:

I know of at least one commercial, and several DIY phono stages that uses LEDS in the cathode of the first stage to provide bias, they are very low noise in that situation.
Ooh!... suites you sir! :lol:Quote:

"Very low noise" also suggests that some noise exists ;)
I'm not saying the detrimental sonic effect is huge - it's simple a case of covering all bases for complete piece of mind. I am somewhat of a perfectionist :)
