Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Dennis Fraker found "nuts"

Yes, the 3.9K load, in this case, would be more ideal distortion-measurement wise. It would also yield max. linearity.

I chose the 2.5K load for several reasons, but chief among them was a tighter grip on the output tube, which is audible as faster speed, and greater control of the "attack" of a musical sequence. The trade-off is higher measured distortion artifacts, which, in this case, I dealt with elsewhere in the design.

It was a design choice, not an absolute, as you're pointing out.

Happy New Year, TRE-- your discussions are getting better with each post, and I'm sure people appreciate your efforts.
