i fooled with this briefly with triodes and never found and major gains... i too though the reduced turns ratio would be a huge plus.. but but found to make it listenable, i still needed much more of a turns ratio in the cathode then in the plate.. .so i was getting a great impedanc ematce and control, but suddenly i needed tons of drive to get reasonable power out so i abandon it...i note that anthony uses pentodes... how does a pentode behave in CF mode????
also the whole reason i was looking into it was to get some serious power... and i think i was barking up the wrong tree... i never looked at it for a sweet low powered sound...
