Re: cascode current

You wrote, "I think the problem you run into is whatever amount of current that is possible through the bottom tubes has to go through the top as well."

I thought about that problem, too. Actually, there is a way to shunt some of the current that passes through the bottom stage so that it does not all have to pass through the cascode tube section, using resistors and a bypass cap. It's well described in Morgan Jones' book; I don't remember the details, and I have no idea whether it would per se affect sound quality.
