RE: Filaments and filament bias




"How bout a white cathode follower?"

IMHO designing WCF with DHTs is too complicated, solvable, but not practical.

Lower output impedance is an advantage, but with other solutions (other tubes, DHT/IDHT mix etc.) give better results.

As you can see the upper tube has DC filament (current or voltage is equal in this respect), the lower use filament bias. The anode current flow trough filament bias resistor, but it is negligible beside the filament current.
