RE: This long thread just tells me what commercial SETs aren't....

Yes, it does, some of it. Some signal goes thru the resistor,
much of it through the capacitors.. The caps, of course
conduct mostly A.C. Any D.C. component through them is
due to capacitor leakage.

The cathode resistor conducts both A.C.(signal) and D.C.,
and it generates artifacts concerning both. Not only does
the capacitor conduct signal, but it is also a filter in
that it shunts the resistor concerning the part of the
A.C. signal that is flowing thru the resistor.

What you have here is two signal conducting devices--
the resistor and the caps-- the resistor conducts most
of the D.C., and plenty of A.C., and the caps conduct
nearly all A.C.

It's a small composite SYSTEM.

Each component has a profound effect on the sound
qualities of the tube's plate and cathode signals.
