Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: DB110G (Bogen) 1950s.

I won't use self bias (cathode bias) in any push-pull amplifier. Unless you're willing to bias the tubes nearly at Class A, crossover distortion sets in at higher output levels well before the limits of the tubes themselves.

Nice thing about driving the outputs with cathode followers is elimination of blocking distortion when peaks momentarily draw grid current. It's a lot of work and additional cost though.
