I really appreciate your explanation, and I will file it with my other information, for future reference. However, I must say once again that a carpenter does not need to be a structural engineer or an architect to build a house, he just needs a good set of plans. I am that carpenter, and I try to find complete sets of plans to work with, but sometimes I have to wing it.
As far as taking inmates time, that is what I thought this forum was for. Are you telling me it's only for the architects and no carpenters allowed?
I would rather spend my time building, and I have told you on numerous occasions that the theory does not come easy to me nor is it my primary interest. If I pick some up as i go along fine, but I do not wish to spend most of my audio time trying to learn the theory when I could be building instead.
I would hope there are at least a few others out there like myself and that at least some of the inmates are ok with us being carpenters and will help with the architecture when they can. For Pete's sake Tre', I have built or bread boarded over 30 amps and preamps in the last 15 years or so. How many other inmates of the "tube diy" forum can claim that? I have had lots of help from the forum sure, but I have done a lot of it on my own as well when I could find good schematics.

Nothing wrong with building a proven/tested circuit.
The problem happens when you deviated or modified the circuit.
Then you have to know the tube theory or be able to test for distortion/spectral data to know if circuit changes are taking you in the correct direction or not.
I am having the same issues with the RH84 type circuit I tried to build.
If I was just changing things and listening for better or worse results, it would be a lost cause to ever getting it correct.
By all means, keep posting your projects.
We are all here to learn and help each other if possible.
Thanks for the support. That's sort of the way I look at it too, and I try to help if I can.

That will inevitably happen.
The best defense is a good offense. It's time to take the time to learn.
The time spent will save even more time in the long run.
