When using a CCS as a plate load, which of the three options is best/standard: 1. Run the CCS a few mA above the current draw of the tube 2. Try to precisely match the current draw of the tube to the CCS regulation 3. Run the tube so that it is in a slightly starved condition, i.e. if the tube would be drawing 5mA with a 1k cathode resistor at 200v on the plate, set it so the CCS runs at 4mA with the 1k cathode resistor and 200 plate |

Dos JC's penthode act as a penthode or more like triode because of the feedback? |

He has gotten 60dB of gain out of a single stage so I'd wager pentode :-) dave |

sounds nasty. How do they say it in USA? NEXT? |
