Hi Gerd,

Interesting tube choice. I can't find curves for the pentode you use but generally speaking pentodes ARE less linear than triodes and that was the basis of my observation. Thorsten has apparently done some more research which elaborates on the subject. I'm the last one to argue that your combination doesn't sound good not having tried it; in fact there is plenty of evidence to support that indeed it does. However I haven't heard another theory that better explains the phenomena technically ... but I'm always willing to listen and to be educated.

Rgds,
Naz
