Re: approching triode operation with pentode power

The Citation II is way more amp than the Citation V (IMO); arguably the best of the vintage amplifiers, although the Citation V output transformer is no slouch!

IMO (again) the UL approach, if you have to use pentodes, is a pretty good way to go. I like to cathode cross-couple them- then the distortion gets low enough you can run the driver with zero feedback.

However if you have triodes then the game is over- nothing beats them.
