In Reply to: What is the function of V3 (CCS tube) in Silver Edition MK3.3 posted by MP on September 9, 2023 at 06:53:39:
The CCS is replaced by a solid state circuit in the Mk3.3.
This leaves a socket available. We put in parallel with the other two input tubes in the amp, so three 6SN7s are this in parallel at the bottom of the differential cascode circuit. This allows them to drive the top tube with greater ease. The differential effect is improved, distortion is reduced and bandwidth is improved.
