RE: Resistor dissipation Question

Jeff,

Nice post. I agree with much of what you said. However, the large voltage drop in a lovely sounding ( directly heated !!) 5R4 comes with a price to pay, higher Z.

A single 5R4 is best used in a preamp. Too whimpy for a stereo P-P amp seeking to play back dynamic expressions.
