"The Rocket has 15H of inductance between the screen and the plate nodes where the Liverpool has a 1k ohm resistance. 15H has reactance of almost 1k at 10Hz, nearly 10k at 100Hz, and nearly 100k at 1kHz. I suspect this helps significantly to keep the screens in check, making the larger screen resist...
