In Reply to: RE: Determining the size of inter-stage coupling cap posted by EricSan on January 22, 2017 at 18:24:42
>>> also found Al's thread about replacing R10 with a choke that has the impact of changing R10 to 250k (http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=magnequest&m=11930). If I incorporate this change with a pair of nice NOS oil caps that measure 0.25uF, am I correct that this shifts the corner frequency to about 2.6Hz (and keeps phase shift below 26Hz)? <<<Why does replacing R10 with a choke have the impact of changing R10 to 250k? Damping resistor? I thought a significant benefit of using grid chokes was a dramatic reduction in the grid-to-ground resistance.
Remember also that other things being held constant, adding a grid choke will induce a resonant peak in the bass; increasing the coupling C can help manage the peak.
It has been a while since I looked at grid chokes - I could be way off.
Also consider, it is debatable whether the benefit of reducing phase shift below ~100 Hz justifies the trade-offs, for example: passing sub-bass frequencies.
