Not sure where the application of a CCS in the cathode of a valve will improve its linearity, given the load is applied to its anode, Hi Nick Spoof essays notwithstanding: my take on what I learned in MJ and other bits from the other books was that if the current through the main output valve is be...

D- Further, this reader is unsure how the use of a CCS in the tail, avoids the requirement of matched devices, but again, in the interest of confusion, this could be seen in a positive light Bugger :D The damned things are still going to need DC voltage balance pots aren't they :D Slightly more twe...

Time for a round-up of this thread as I think it has probably run its course now, written in a true dead boring academic stylee. :wink: First, regarding constant-current sinks and their application to differential operation of a push-pull valve output stage. One could speculate indefinitely over the...

I'll bring Armenian Death Metal.... DTB Dave If you drop off the A1M on your way, you can also pick up some Japanese Death Jazz to take to Paul's. Some of it to combine one of Nicks phrases and one of my Dad's that he nicked off George Melly, sounds like a hybrid between a drum kit being kicked dow...

Hi-thats what i have done to mine today. Reading Gerrys comments i thought i would give it a go. That,and the CCS on my 832 has given me real bass now,and not at the expense of mid and treble. I take then that you are pleased with the results of your mods to the 832A output stage of your amp Philip...

Dave :D :D :D Simon Thanks for taking time to have a listen to the amp. Nice isn't it? Since you left I had another brainwave. The Mullard EL34s were quite disappointing as constant current sinks, as you heard for yourself. I'm not sure if you remember those fat bottle EL37s Steve Shiels was kind en...

Back to the tube rolling I was loudly reminded by the missus that I had to go and pick up my daughter from work pronto so my post was rudely cut off. I would have edited it but it seems that a bit of silliness about chatting up dogs in Kent intervened whilst I was gone :D I might have known things w...

There seems to be a lot of conjecture here, even dare I say it, prejudice...I was going to say that this might lead to agreement and the mutual backslapping.....but in my sloth to reply I think Nick has already said it... :wink: Well of course it's conjecture Ed. Nobody can prove that any of this i...

Stephen: I think the thing is that the CCSs I'm using are being used exactly where it is an acknowledged advantage to apply them; ie in the tail of a differential pair. These of course tend to be used mainly in PP amps, where arguably the PSU has a bit less of an influence on the sound of an amp tha...

I wonder - I like the idea that CCS is good for small currents then. your el34 Steve, blows that out of the water I know but the Rankin amp's ecl82 pentode section is still handling a very small current because 45 doesn't need much. Ah yes.........but what I meant was that in an output stage where ...
