RE: Right. Now explain that to your buddy Dennis!(nt)

What is going on here are several factors.

There is instantaneous electron transfer, and there is also transfer from Space Charge. In a Pure Tungsten DHT, ZERO space charge is required to effect electron transfer, although whether or not that condition exists is determined by the voltages and currents that that tube is being run at.

In most tubes that audiophiles use, there are both factors at work simultaneously.

This is Summer in Montana, and my posts will be mostly from what I'm able to deliver quickly and easily, as I am busy with irrigation systems, and a lot more.

If you wish to do further research, you will find that one needs to consider all of the facets that apply to a given situation-- not just focus on a single question-- which leaves out pertinent collaborating information.

One-sided approaches-- to anything-- usually leave something out, and that is why I didn't answer your question-- I didn't have the time to give you a complete answer.

I don't now, either, so you can start in RDH4-- Pages 2 through 5. That's not even close to a complete explanation, but at least it makes sense.
