Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier

Indeed; it's not safe to report current direction through? a passive component. I think that the direction of current measured through a 'wire'? is always correct. To measure it may require temporarily modifying the schematic to include a 'wire' long enough. Press ALT and hover over the wire. Left-click to plot the current. I can't find that in the Help, though.

I haven't checked your schematic, but did you know that current through a 2 port device always flows into port 1 and out of port 2. The standard symbol has no visual indication which is port 1. Try rotating the resistor 180deg.

Hello,
I uploaded the project "Bravo_Ocean_ampli" in Files->Temp. As you can check the .tran analysis returns a weird DC operating point (aka ITS/Initial Transient Solution). Namely the current through R4 connected to LM317 Out pin is negative -165.5mA. Of course physically it can't be the case (note that it isn't a problem related to how R4 pins are arranged in the schematic).
?
What could actually be the problem with this circuit simulation ? Thanks.
