[Amps] stability of amps

[jeremy-ca]

Peter, the 572B has the same basic form as the 811A which is rated to 54 
MHz. Just because Cetron built an audio tube and simply said 30MHz sounds 
like a good number doesnt mean its gospel.

The first SB-200 conversion I saw was in the early 70's when one was bought 
to me after the owner tried some idiotic magazine article. This was pre 
computer so I actually had to do some work to make it fly. The design 
evolved from good to perfect as I bought several to experiment with.

I get 55% with good tubes. Output averages 700-750W  with 75-80W drive and 
some are super "hot" like this last pair.

Unlike the FL-2100B which is probably more popular in the UK, the SB-200 is 
very easy to tame on 6. I "discovered" the FL-2100 bogus neutralizing 
circuit about 15-20 years ago and W8JI  has mentioned it recently as well.
