Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Class A definition is simple: conducts full cycle. However in real life, when an amplifier manufacturer claims his product is Class A, how do we know it is true or false. In particular, I am thinking of an ultralinear, push-pull, KT88/6550/EL34 tube amp.
Some people will go by static plate dissipation alone, but I am not sure if that is right or not.
