Dear Joe,
Thanks for your input. Actually in KT88s and 6550s, the element is a beaming confining structure (plate looking) and not a wire/grid structure ( I am sure you knew this). There is no problem with the No.3 grid tied to the plate, as far as either dissapation problems or reliability from some other form. If the no.3 grid is connected to the cathode, the potential between this and the plate is great and reliability could suffer. The sonics of any particular tube type can
(as you know) be determined by the design of the circuit and physical design of the tube itself. Thus I am very careful to state categorically that one tube is better than another.
