Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Wouldn't doing that increase HD?

That's a little different.
In your example when C82 goes to zero ohms, the tube is still seeing 15k.

That would not be the case if he "just bypass[ed] the plate resistor with 250 to 500pf cap".

It's not a big deal, I was just pointing that out.

I've also seen phono preamps with "one shot" RIAA filters with impedances so low that the first stage won't stand a chance driving it. In the discussion that followed people were trying to tell me that that is how filters work....by "choking" the tube. :-)

I tried to explain that you can make R1 big enough so A1 (if it were a triode) is not being loaded down. I'm not sure how many understood.




All I'm saying is, you can use a filter to contour the frequency response without placing the tube driving that filter in distress.
