RE: Reduce 3rd order distortion, CCS or carhode Degeneration?

Hey Eric,

If you have the room under the chassis, plate loading with a CCS (in my experience) will provide better distortion levels and will open up the ability of the voltage amp to drive with less distortion. Just as an experiment, I added CCS loading to a Blue Velvet line stage design I build a hundred years ago and I was floored by the difference once you adjust the plate voltage to accommodate.
