Re: Experiments with "UltrPath" connection

I thought that the idea of "ultra-path" (hyped up name as far as I'm concerned) was that the b+ to cathode capacitor was the value of the cathode cap divided by the gain of the stage. This way any anomaly of the b+ supply would be divided by the gain and fed into the input in anti-phase to cancel out any effect.

It should (if done correcty) help reduce b+ defficiencies for example hum.

I don't think it would be very valid in a PP amp since these unwanted b+ caracteristics are already well cancelled if the OP stage matching and phase splitter are well sorted.
