RE: SRPP

The reason I was looking at an srpp as one option was because of Gordon Rankin's article in Sound Practices #13 on building his two stage "Bugle" 45 set amp. In it he says

"I find the srpp drive stage to be good sounding and easy to implement, offering a lot better output capacity than plate loading the same tubes.Because there is enough local feedback in an srpp so that it is not beating the tube for maximum gain, I find it vastly superior in sound to all the types of mu follower designs. Following this logic, a simple plate loaded tube should sound best, and maybe it does, but then you have to use two stages and that introduces another set of problems. In my experience, the srpp is the best sounding simple way to go."

What are your thoughts on that?
