Back on topic. I will read more about the classes but you are right
about SE and PP. I dont understand how a single tube in A can go AB
but I will read and try to figure it out tonight.

The concept is quite straight forward. This is a simple, not very
technical explanation. One power tube in Class A must be "on" all the
time. When you drive it to clipping, it is "off" momentarily, as there is
no signal when clipped. You hear this as "dirt" or distortion. We guitar
players like this effect and hi-fi audiophools hate this effect (and for
good reasons). Just know that your amp doesn't care about what class it
operates in. You shouldn't either. And yes, this is a bottom post.

Hi Phil, this is a request of you and everyone cool here to
refrain from parroting Wet Fart Willy's sappy derivatives.
It's "audiophiles"", not audiophools". That particular aspect of the
tube amp industry has no more BS hype, snake oil, BS mystiques
and pretetious mojo than the tube amp for guitar industry.

BTW, it's socket, not *hole*. But if you are trying to conserve
bandwidth, just use "skt" - it's one letter character less than "hole".

Just let Willy's ass-slurpers do the monkey see, monkey do parroting.
That's all they're good here for anyway. They've already been conditioned
to be ditto-shitheads.

Ed, I was using "audiophools" long before I came here, and yes,
there's a multitude more hype in that particular aspect of the tube
amp industry. Instead of "socket" I was also using "hole" and "slot"
as well as "position" before I'd met your nemesis.

You're telling the whole group not to say certain things? Isn't that
kinda sorta like censorship?

Isn't it like someone telling you to stop being so fixated on LV?

How about we stop seeing words like "Wet Fart Willy" or "ass-slurpers"
or "shitheads"? But you think "audiophools" and "gain hole" are worse,
huh? You contradict yourself without even knowing it.
