RE: Cathode bypass cap removed and I like it
Posted by Tre' on January 10, 2017 at 15:20:49:
If you remove the cathode resistor the tube will not have any bias voltage and it will burn up.
Removing the cathode bypass cap increases the plate resistance of the output tube and lowers the damping factor, a lot!It is not a good idea.
There are other ways to apply feedback that won't ruin the damping factor of the amplifier.
