RH84 type test amp... for some reason I had the 12AT7 driver stage plates connected together and fed by a single wire from B+.
I decided to wire each triode section to B+ separately with its own wire to see it anything positive would result.
THD @ 1.2W power out dropped from .81% to .70%
THD+N @ 1.2W power out dropped from .88% to .82%
At 1W power output the THD = .60% , which compares favorably to the Mullard 3-3 in terms of power vs. distortion.
