In Reply to: Why would direct coupling give you a "horizontal loadline"? posted by Russ57 on August 6, 2006 at 18:01:31:
Russ>>You would still have a load resistor for the tube....right?
Actually it's choke loaded like a DRD.
>>I'd say the tube used would play a part
Yes that's a given.
But most graphs that I've seen (of the more
linear tubes-another topic for another day),
have a more linear output from a given input
the closer you get to a horizontal line.
And since the 2nd order distortion reduces
the higher the load seems to confirm that.>>would cut down on odd order distortion and
>>that might end up being sweeter sounding.I don't consider less odd order distortion
sweeter just less fatigueing.>>magnetic parts would indicate that they tend more towards
>>the organic sound than the clinical/sterile soundThere I totally agree.
The "clinical/sterile sound" I associate with too much
"odd order distortion" myself.BTW I am thinking of a (ECC99 or EL84)/2A3 in DRD
through an IT driving a 300B.
The ECC99 and the trioded EL84 have a
remarkably similar graph especially
with a horizontal load line sooo
I haven't decided yet.DanL
