RH84 type test amp... for some reason I had the 12AT7 driver stage plates connected together and fed by a single wire from B+. I decided to wire each triode section to B+ separately with its own wire to see it anything positive would result. THD @ 1.2W power out dropped from .81% to .70% THD+N @ 1.2W power out dropped from .88% to .82% At 1W power output the THD = .60% , which compares favorably to the Mullard 3-3 in terms of power vs. distortion. |

I wondered about crosstalk as well. Thanks for the comments. |
