RE: Good point

My pleasure! IIRC, you had once posted some of your experiences with resistors on a similar amp on A'gon... Are you still running without a cathode bypass on the 6C6?
I will be directly coupling the 6C6 to a 2A3 run at 42mA and 250V. Now, before people think that I am blindly following the Jeff and Dennis Rx:
> The operating point has been reported as sounding pretty decent by a few people.
> I think Emission Labs ~mu 4 tubes might sound really nice with a ~1:6 mA:V ratio. This is something that Thorsten recommends with 300Bs, but it might apply to 2A3s and maybe even EML 45s.
> I am loading the 2A3 with 4K2, not 2k5. I have two beautiful 5.9Kg custom nanocrystalline beasts sitting on my shelf...
> The cathode bypass will be sized for a ~8Hz -3dB point, not 20 - 25Hz (which could work well in the right amp, but I am not experimenting with that for this build).
I will likely post the final build here, but would be happy to keep you updates as to my failures and successes as the build progresses.
Cheers,
