Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Design philosophies

There is actually very little global NFB in the Cit II. Most of the 31 db of NFB is either the unbypassed V1/V4 voltage amp cathode resistors or one of the multiple NFB "short" loops used in the driver/PI and from the plates of the output tubes back to the drivers.

For some reason (senior moment?) I can't recall the exact number - but it's single digits, like 5 db IIRC.

BTW, the Cit V is not U/L, it's pentode. As a result, improving the screen supply regulation is a positive step. Also, unlike the Cit II most of the Cit V NFB IS global.
