Re: Sweetness VS Load Lines

Naz, I will try this one more time.

First I agree with you as to load lines. I have all my stages (pre amp and amp) CCS loaded and have increased the value of the grid resistors as much as is reasonable.


OK, one step at a time. We have a pure 1K sinewave going into the first stage, forward going (first half of waveform positive). The first stages output will be a negative going 1K waveform and a negative going 2K waveform (distortion).

These negative waveforms feed into the second stage. The output of the second stage, not counting distortion, will be a positive going 1K waveform and a positive going 2K waveform.

Then we have the distortion of the second stage which is positive going 2K waveform and a postive going 4K waveform (distortion of 2K).

The two positive going 2K wave forms do not cancel but add. They are in phase with each other.
