Performance

Those paying attention to my post from May 9th already know I have a new project coming. This one is nothing new or Earth shaking. Just a slight performance upgrade to the 6EM7 Vertical Amp in a more traditional chassis.

In my last post I threw in a comment at the end pointing out that lowering plate load resistance will play a part in how the cathode bypass capacitor behaves. Someone asked, so I thought an example of how this affects things might be in order.

I spent some time this afternoon taking technical performance data on the new amp. Unsurprisingly, the technical data is in agreement with my impressions from the excellent listening session yesterday. This amp is a solid performer and just what I wanted from the design.
