Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

If that is really what he said then Rosenblit Got This Wrong

Your explanation is correct- you don't need unequal currents and they do seesaw. The reason Broskie is correct is simply that the 12AU7 isn't a perfect tube even in its ideal form- it has a fairly low mu. But if you want low gain- such as in a line stage- then you deal with it.

Improving the CCS reduces offsets, distortion, improves bandwidth and increases gain. So its really a good idea to have a good CCS. And they can be so good now that the actual offsets will likely come down to actual tube differences, which is about as good as you can expect. We don't bother with different plate values on this account- in fact we match them.
