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

on which page and in which coloumn... or better yet quote the text you are referring to. Show me in Norm's words where he sez that the loadline seen by each tube is raa/2.


:::...and measure the slope of the dashed line he refers to. a few folks have done just that. I will leave the execise to the student. What is the slope of that line?::::

the slope of the line in degrees? That's all you can measure directly... is what is the slope of the line referenced to the horizontal axis in degrees....

otherwise... you need to account for the voltages and currents as prescribed by the author and whose text re: these parameters I have already quoted. But you cannot read voltage divided by current directly off of these curves without introducing errors.

you need to go through Norman Crowhursts' examples step by step... and when you encounter something different than what he sez... figure that your probably making an error of some kind. Prudence might suggest that Crowhurst (author of 600 plus books and articles) probably had proof read and was satisfied with his work before publishing it.

Funny... how you guys cannot provide one published example of a PP loadline having raa/2 as it's effective or operating impedance for each half primary.

On the other hand, I have provided mutlitple published sources which state explicitly that each tube in a class A PP amp will see raa/4 as it's reflected load impedance.


If brains bigger and better and smarter than my own cannot satisfy you then I doubt that I will be able to explain it any better than say Steve Bench, Broskie, Crowhurst, RCA engineers, etc, et al.

I'll just wait for the Dougie text on electronics to be published.
