but with the filament bias approach this wouldn't work.
With filament bias, the filament itself is actually a
substantial part of the bias resistor.

I still use the ultrapath connection. The B+ side of
the lineout transformer is returned to the - side of
the filament. So the AC signal actually bypasses the
bias resistor (at least from the midrange on upwards)Thomas
