[Amps] Capacitors vs No Capacitors

[Colin Lamb]

"But I wonder what would be the results with no capacitor in CW or SSB
operation....   The voltage wouldn't be as high.... no capacitor to charge."

OK, I did just that.  Decades ago, I was using a Johnson Courier in grounded grid mode.  During the conversion to grounded grid, the capacitors somehow were disconnected.  It does have a choke.  

A local ham heard me on the air and called and said my audio sounded strange.  He made a recording and played it back.  There was no hum, but the bass sounded strange and the quality was less than perfect.
