RE: First Bench Test

mine is about as neutral and 'not there' as I have seen...and by your standards, it is *LOADED* with silicon.

With a triode cathode follower, running it cascode, with a MOSFET on top serving as the screen grid is quite useful. It leaves the triode with a nearly constant voltage across it( if you make the circuit properly), and the very high effective plate resistance leaves it quite immune to noise( like PS ripple ). Changing the voltage the gate is at, is comparable to changing the g2 voltage on a pentode, and is quite useful for setting idle current in a system where the cathode resistance is not a parameter you can change.
