In Reply to: "Can I lower the 470 ohm resistor in the tail of the cascodes... posted by Allen Wright on April 3, 2007 at 05:15:37:
"Yes. I tried local feedback as you describe for many years on and of - but always came back to no feedback with triodes. But if you (insist) on using pentode connection then it will be a big help - and certaainly will sound far better than using loop feedback!"I agree here - but I have no idea why. Does keeping the output transformer out of the feedback loop have something to do with it?
