**See below post for actually accurate information regarding this question**
So my inquiry is specifically in regards to Electrodyne line amps. They have a push pull output, and use two diodes between the power supply rail and the collector to the "bottom" transistor (the "top" transistor's collector is connected directly to the +V input).
Many of the diodes in this console are way out of spec, and some even measure almost like wire (in both directions).
Is it important that the voltage drop across the two transistors match the diode drops of the two diodes exactly?
Am I making sense? I don't have the schematic right in front of me to maybe be more clear about this.
