Distortion...

John -

Do you have any way to measure distortion (other than ears)?

I hate to be an engineer here, but...

I played with the 6AR8 a little as a phase splitter. I abandoned it because it had pretty high distortion, like 1-2%.

I didn't work at it, though, so maybe I just had a bad operating point or wasn't doing something right. I think I was also using it at a faitly high level (like after a 10x gain stage) so maybe I was just trying to drive it too hard.

The curves look pretty darn linear, so I wonder if I wasn't doing something wrong.

How much gain do you get?

Pete
