Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Why would direct coupling give you a "horizontal loadline"?

Maybe I misunderstand you or I am mistaken but I don't think that is the case at all. You would still have a load resistor for the tube....right?

I do agree that IT coupling would be closer to a horizontal loadline. As to second order distortion, I'd say the tube used would play a part. I would also say IT coupling (or CCS or choke loading) would cut down on odd order distortion and that might end up being sweeter sounding. My limited experience with magnetic parts would indicate that they tend more towards the organic sound than the clinical/sterile sound.
