RE: How to build a "least bad" system!

Hi Andy,

So, specifically from the above post, on your 300B's Rk, use two resistors in parallel, matched to that tight Ohmic tolerance spec Dennis suggests, and tell us what you hear !!!

IT will sound better than one Rk, IF perfectly matched.

You should have a SHORT return path to ground on that Rk, I like two inches or less of wire to a star ground, and USE the resistor leads and body length to comprise part of the distance to ground.

Can this be simulated, well I am not sure. Are Rks in parallel, implemented as described, audibly better ?? :-) OH Yes.
