Re: Cathode output

No, we take the output off the cathodes. The cathode resistors are in series with that. But when you total up the entire lot of them, the result is a negligable increase in output impedance. However the tubes work better together so the impedance goes back down a little. The result is lower distortion- meaning better low level detail and smoother sound. The tubes last longer too.
