Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Completely false

You said: "The damper diode has a nice SLOW ramp up, due to its cathode, and it also has lowZ. But wait, the lowly 5U4 has NO cathode, its a filamentary rectifier, meaning it can do INSTANTANEOUS music events better than any cathode diode."

That is completely false. The fact that the cathode has a higher thermal mass and consequently higher thermal lag has no effect of the electrical performance once the cathode is hot.

Jeff, you are entitled to believe in whatever you want but please don't post "reasons" for your beliefs which have no basis.
