Hello RAT friends,

So putting 2V rms on the grid of a triode with a fixed bias of 2.4v
may not be such a good idea. Here's a circuit to experiment with -

2Vrms = +/-2.8pkV, and grid current would flow in a tube with fixed bias
= -2.4V.

However, as its done in the above fiultra preamp stage, is OK because
the gain attenuater is before the
417A and probably quite low level output would be wanted, and therefore
applied input voltage
probably will be below 0.2Vrms. The bias of 2.4V suits having a healthy
huge 20mA bias current in the 417A
which is supposed to sound very well.
