"I tried putting a grid resistor to ground on V2 ...it didn't work on my amp."
So the amp runs and sounds good with no bias reference for the second type 26 tube?
That's really interesting.
I wonder what's going on there.

Yeah Tre'
It seemed strange after others had suggested I needed a grid resistor.
But thatsit.

Maybe this addresses what some may view as a compromised PSU design?
If the grid is not bias referenced (ie; some connection back to the cathode. Normally done with a resistor or grid choke to ground so the cathode resistor can provide bias for the tube or in the case of a direct coupled circuit the reference is back through the previous stage), the tube cannot work properly if at all.Does anyone have any insight as to what's going on here?
The amplifier is reported as working and "sounds decent".

1) Bad V2 with internal resistance between cathode filament and grid?2) Enough dirt or other substance on tube socket to act as a grid reference?
3) DC Leakage through coupling cap?

otherwise I wouldn't think it would work at all.

I'm still pondering how V2 functions as drawn.
Who knew?
a learner how that could be the case?
Thanks in advance.
