Deang Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Double post. Oh well, mind as well make good use of it. I need some help understanding what is going on when one bypasses the grid of a pentode tube, and goes 'triode'. I've been reading some stuff that indicates this is really cheating the circuit, and that to do it right involves more than just strapping a resistor across the pins. Also, my question from the original thread -- Are you the same 'Mark Deneen' of Paragon fame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 You're a turkey...you didn't answer either one of my questions I'm a reader -- I always seem to stumble across the most interesting things. "According to former Paragon owner, Mark Deneen, the original Model 10, designed by 'consulting' engineer Bruce Moore, was unmanufacturable and only 50 were ever made. I never heard one, but I did hear, and even owned, the replacements, the Model 12 and 12A. They were excellent in their day, maybe the best available, with full-bodied sound, spatial information and good retrieval of decay. That was breakthrough performance at the time."

Deang Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 Just think, if you would have stayed in the business you could have lost your mind 20 years ago -- instead of having to wait another 20 years for it to happen. So, what's 30 years? Seems to me that all anyone really does in the industry is reinvent the wheel over and over again. What about my making a triode out of a pentode question? Any relevent thoughts on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I beleive I heard a Scott 299 at the NOS Valves Lab wired in triode. Craig please clarify if this is the same technique you employed or different? I really like the sound of the "trioded" 299 of Craig's.

NOSValves Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Yup it was wired in Triode ! I changed it back and miss the distinct triode sound already. But the amp regained its extra headroom. 20 watt amps can't handle the transition to triode unless you like to listen at 90 db all the time. Which is a good thing for your hearing Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
