[QUOTE="Moonraker, post: 1089735, member: 24248"] No need to preach to the converted :) :) But seriously, as you say it is a tail-chase. I doubt very much if the additional gain bandwidth , NFB, etc of this configuration will get one noticeably further after the tradeoffs have been considered. The overriding deviations from the ideal, desired or not, of most (all) tube amplifiers are caused by the impedance matching transformer(s). Until someone does the logical thing and eliminates transformers by driving electrostatic loudspeakers directly. Or by using a bank of say 6080 type tubes in parallel. Or something. [/QUOTE]
