In Reply to: RE: 26 with AVC on output works GREAT! posted by Maxamillion on March 17, 2015 at 09:17:39
Yes, 150Hy has a reactance at 20Hz of almost 19k ohms and the mu output of a CCS has a low output impedance.
I do the same with a CCS loaded 5687 as the last stage of my phono pre through a 7.8uf cap. That and my CD player drive my AVC well.
Paul didn't state the step down ratio of his output transformer nor the value of the plate resistor, operating point, etc... so It's hard to know/calculate exactly what impedance he has to drive a AVC.
I guess my point was....an AVC is not a "one size fits all" deal.

The thing to watch out for on the single winding autoformers is that the load impedance that the source sees changes with every tap... so you will actually have say 23 different impedances that the tube (or cd player, etc) will be looking into.
so you might say that the "primary impedance" is not stable nor constant.
An avc will behave similarly to shunt type attenuator.

As attenuation is applied the load impedance goes up. As long as it's not part of an EQ, isn't that a good thing as far as harmonic distortion is concerned?
