RE: Question for Banat

That seems correct and logical.
But the issue you raised is whether that 1000uF capacitor bypassing the cathode resistor has a topology identical to or different from that of the PS capacitors, with respect to the signal. I suggested that the PS capacitors "look" to me to be in parallel with the signal, whereas the proposed cathode resistor bypass cap is in series. I am not in a position to argue, I just want to know whether I am right or wrong in thinking that way. That is, I want to learn something.

(By the way, I hope we all agree that the term "cathode resistor" is not used in the conventional sense of the term; the signal is taken from the distal end of the resistor, at the ground potential of the PS that serves that side of the circuit, not from the junction of the resistor with the cathode of the power tube. The resistor is there just to promote current sharing among the output tubes.)
