Hi Tom,

Put the resistor in series with the input coupling capacitor.

If you want to experiment with negative feedback with multiple GG 
drivers you might try link coupling between stages. You can reverse the 
link at the feedback point to get the out of phase signal. You will need 
at least a 2 stage amp to do this. Maybe an 811A in GG as a driver for 
the 4-1000.
Put a small coil at the bottom of the input link of the 811A to lift it 
slightly above ground. Couple the plate of the 4-1000 to that point 
through a small capacitor.
