In a G2DAF amplifier, screen potential wanders from zero to approx. max.  
Some say that screen potential can wander about with no serious 
consequences.  Please consider the constant-current curves for the 8171 
posted at the beginning of my Web site.  One set of curves is for a 
screen potential of 500v.  The other set is for 1500v on the screen.  
Assuming a peak grid potential of +10v, with1500v on the screen, peak 
anode current is c. 12a.  However, with +10v on the grid and 500v on the 
screen, .peak anode current is 3a.  In other words, in the DAF 
amp;lifier, gain is not constant.  Will this affect linearity?
