Misapplication of principles

>Conventional EE thinking says if you want to feed a load, then you want your source impedance to be no more than 1/10 of your load impedance. Which power supply do you, as an EE, think will be a better power source for a 300B amplifier; the 400 ohm, or the 65 ohm one?

Jeff isn't the only one experiencing difficulty in the explanation department. The above statement is crudely simplistic, inappropriate for this application, and wholly ignorant of the dynamics of filtering pulsed DC. I've analyzed the low DCR concept in depth, and I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it works. I am not one of its detractors. Nevertheless, it is only one means by which to reach the finish line. These ongoing claims that it represents a sonic/engineering breakthrough are not only contentious and misleading, but may constitute the worst case of narrow-minded wishful thinking that I have seen here in quite some time.
