I just noticed this on http://www.talkingelectronics.com/p...mplifier/TheTransistorAmplifier-P1.html#Stage
At figure 38. I usually just use .tran 10m or so. The author said this circuit shouldn't work, and I simmed it, and it did work. I tried to figure out why he might say it wouldn't and hit the button to start at 0v external DC, and it failed. I started another known working amp circuit at 0v DC and it turned on after 5ms and started working appropriately.
Should I be always using start at 0V DC? Will some circuits falsely appear to work if it isn't selected?
