RE: Maybe no bypass?

Posted by Al Noakes on July 6, 2015 at 14:48:24:
High gain ? Use a lower value load and you'll get lower Rout and lower gain from the driver . Why not place the cathode circuit and G2 of the 6C6 within the cathode circuit of your output valve ? You may only need a single bypass cap between output stage cathode and 0V as you'll be running tens of milliamps through the cathode bias stack . I have only tried this with a triode connected D3A but it should in theory work with a pentode . The 'full monkey' used a similar scheme if I remember correctly
