[AMPS] 4-1000A

I thought that linearity got worse with increasing anode voltage.  The 
reason why I state that is that in some of the charts I have seen on the 
tube, the IM products and rated output get worse as the anode voltage 
increases.  What improves is that the tube has more gain.

Can someone clarify this for me?  Does linearity increase with anode 
voltage or decrease?
