partially bypassed R(k)

A partially bypassed R(k) is one in which some portion of the R(k) has a bypass cap and some portion of it does not.

To use a specific example (one that I am listening to as I type this): the cathode of the 5744WB submini has an R(k) totaling 627R - 600 ohms is bypassed by a 125 uf cap, and 27 ohms is left unbypassed.

While I agree that the unbypassed portion complicates design considerations...the combination of degenerative feedback, and what I theorize is some isolation from the cap sounds a lot better than simply bypassing the entire R(k).

Experiment, and let us know what you think.
