¿Fact? Q = XC-tune/RL. Two tubes doubles I-anode, which cuts RL in
Half. and doubles the pF required for C-tune. However, two tubes doubles
C-anode. Thus, "System" Q remains constant provided that C-tune is set
to a higher value during tune for max P.out with max drive tuneup.
--- Free, unsolicited advice. It has been my experiences that
words/phrases such as:
/ That is a lie.
/ This is a fact.
/ As a matter of fact,
/ I am telling the truth.
/ I would not lie to you.
/ I am not going to lie to you.
/ Mr./Ms. ___ is a liar.
/ Actually ...
/This is the absolute truth.
... are clues.
