RE: Filaments and filament bias




"If I have 50v on one end of the filament and 45v on the other, which end counts as the cathode to plate voltage? How does it know the difference?"

As you can see at the VT25 CF schematic, this simple practice centered the filament.

The CF use negative supply (practicaly direct drive to output tube) and "LND150 CCS bias" to adjust via CF tube the output tube bias.

Distortion a bit high, but if you use appropriate CCS insted of R4, the distortion will decrease one order of magnitude.
