[AMPS] Which Amp?

[w8jitom@postoffice.worldnet.att.net]

Hi Rich,

I don't intend to get in a vile nasty name calling session with you.

But you should, since you want to be helpful, try to be more careful 
to research what you claim instead of making immature remarks.

Your defense is.....

So because Ten tec, Henry, etc don't neutralize (heath and Gonset do, 
so do many commercial amps) you leap to a conclusion 
"neutralization must be impossible".  

I offered to FAX you a copy of an Eimac article describing how to 
neutralize, and why neutralization is sometimes required in a 
grounded grid PA. You refused, saying you "didn't want to see it".

It is just as easy to sample a bit of the anode signal, invert phase 
180 degrees, and apply that signal to the cathode in a grounded grid 
PA as it is in any other PA. Sometimes it is just as necessary.  

The article is available, or I'd be happy to explain how it's done, 
if you'd like.
