Good morning all,
I'm new to the list and had a couple of questions that have been bothering
me for awhile.
This one is a bit off, but would anyone have an answer to why 2x3-500
amplifiers in gg configuration sometimes have 1,2, or 3 caps paralleled to
the grids, some have a choke paralleled to the caps, some are tied directly
to ground?
I have seen schematics of same series amps done with the caps and coils and
without. As an aside it looks like Japanese versions of some of the same
amps have the grids tied directly to ground. ( HL-2k) Is it a spectral
purity FCC thing?
As an aside, The Japanese HL-2k schematic shows a choke in the filament
return and the US version does not. I'm guessing the choke is for balancing
but cant figure why the amp with the grids directly grounded has the
filament choke(Japanese) and the floating grids (US) dont.
I have been looking and cant seem to find the answer. If someone could
comment or suggest a place to look for the answers it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, George KB2Z
