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

Posted by Tre' on July 19, 2012 at 09:30:06:

I'm not asking you questions to educate myself. I'm asking you questions to educate you.

You said " If you look at Vintage 811A's, you'll also find something interesting. Those are High-Mu, high plate resistance triodes that run usually over 1000 volts on the plate.

Plate current isn't very high-- usually 60 ma. or so in Class B amp service. Well, on the BETTER ones, they ran two identical internal plate leads to the plate common connection on the tube's top-cap plate connection-- even though they were running relatively high voltage at low current-- one lead could certainly carry it. . Each went to an opposite side of the plate. CHEAP 811A's only used one lead from the plate-- only one side got loaded..

Which tube sounded better? The one with two leads that were equal length to the top connection, and balance-loaded the plate from two opposite sides, not just one side.."

Only one side got loaded????? Are you kidding me?

Dennis, the only explanation I'm looking for from you is for you to explain why you thought the small path length differences will make any audible difference when it is clear that the "music" moves through our circuits at almost the speed of light?

The only real answer from you should be "Hey, now that you have shown me how these things work I see that those signal path length differences don't matter. Thanks Tre'".

You're welcome Dennis.
