...so the net effect on the load line is the actual grid voltage in is less that it seems, so a loss in gain, and given that ra, µ, and gm are linked, reducing gain while leaving gm the same will mean ra has to increase Okay, think I get it. Basically, an unbypassed cathode resistor has the effect ...

I had a read of MJ last night and he says that not bypassing the cathode resistor increases the valve's anode resistance. Presumably this flattens the plate curves (V against I) but how would I plot loadlines etc. and work out swing if the curves aren't the same? Or is there a trick somewhere? Sorry...

Not sure I've understood this - does this mean that only a small turn on the volume pot might drive the amp to full output though? Presumably 2VRMS on the input will overdrive the output valve? Yes, it does mean this, but if 0.5v RMS is all it needs to overdrive the output stage, the input will nev...

Manvile You've definitely been in there then! I had 10 pints in there after the first exam of my finals - it was Structures and a nightmare. It was a Friday so I had the weekend before the next one. I'd forgotten about that, but somehow look back fondly now with a smile on my face :). That sounds l...

Thats the Rawal, still a great place to eat. I don't remember it being called that, but memory's a funny thing. Good to know it's still a good curry though. On the mild side if I remember correctly but the onion bhajis were particularly good? I drove through that part of Bradford a couple of years ...

I remember when the International opened 20-odd years ago - went in a lot. Used to do a great chicken and mushroom curry back when I used to eat meat. Last time I went was maybe a year ago and was a bit disappointed. What's the one round the corner from the Kashmir called? Opposite the City mortuary...

when are you going to start a photography masterclass? You're too kind Ed :). Good photography requires good technical skills and good compositional skills. I have a sound understanding of exposure basics and use a camera with more computing power than an old space mission to do the hard work for m...
