...I first ran across it as Bob Carver was promoting his mods for the Cit II that would enable it to produce something like 100-120WPC. I think it involved conversion to pentode mode and addition of g1 clamps on finals allowing deep class AB operation. I've got details stored away somewhere but am not able to locate them at the moment. Bob soon moved on to mfg of limited edition tube amps employing these same basic concepts. Interesting coincidence?
Regardless of exact details, the bottom line is that this story comes from Carver as he was in self promoting mode so how much is fact and how much is embellishment is anybody's guess.
