RE: RH84 test amp: driver stage wiring change = lower THD%

The 12AT7 isn't as linear as many other 9-pin dual triodes. Distortion characteristics can change considerably with a relatively minor change in operating conditions. Not sure if that's what happened in this case, it's just one more possibility in addition to the things mentioned below. Didn't you say earlier that the distortion in this amp was over 1%?
