Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Re: Thanks for your concern, but . . .

Sorry about the misinterpretation but I've never seen a 100R used in series with the source. As to its purpose I'm sure it's as you suggest but unless it's being used in a low current application I think it would be detrimental to sound.

Since the MOSFET has such a high gate impedance, a very high value of resistance can be used if required. This would cause the gate voltage to rise slowly, say about 10 seconds from 0v to the reference voltage. < <

The time constant is OK and even lower will do but IME the high value R can affect the HF response if a good quality cap is not used.
