Re: Tube Distortion and Bias ... a perspective

Dave,

We are on the same page on all points contained in your first two paragraphs. I think you have misunderstood where I'm coming from thereafter.

Firstly, my speakers (of moderate sensitivity) were used in two ways. The first was to listen and observe ... what I liked and disliked, before any measurements were made, which were done in an effort to correlate what I was hearing. The second was to observe the measurements, perhaps after making a change and then see how this resulted in what I was hearing. What I've presented here is a mere summary of some interesting points ... nothing more and nothing less.

On the subject of CCS I was referring to a Current Sourced Grounded Cathode gain stage. This to me is about the purest way of running a triode; others may differ.

Ultimately, the tests were not made in pursuit of absolutes. They purely comparative and are presented only to back up some observations ... both ways. I'm certainly not claiming to have found the Holy Grail.

Thanks for your comments,
Naz
