Ian, what would be the impedence of a vacuum tube series regulator? And
what effect if any would it have at a Es of 1KV or more? 
While a 4CX250 would require a regulation of 1 volt or less for IMD
reasons would that hold true with large tetrodes?

Perhaps a tutorial on exactly what is involved in determining the screen
regulator impedence is in order. I admit to being somewhat confused by
all the claimed numbers of various methods.

Tnx!   Carl  KM1H
