[sdiy] LED Drops

[mike ruberto]

Ok this is cool, the catalog has alot of good info.

LOL "WE PUT THE "DIE" BACK IN DIODE" That website is a trip!

I want to build this circuit...
http://www.jlmaudio.com/JLM%20Hybrid%20Opamp%20circuit.pdf

but all I have is a green LED. It seems the green have a higher
voltage drop than the red. So it looks like I'll have to play around
with resistors or a combo of regular diodes.

Thanks!

Mike
