VVR better for cathode or fixed bias?

Post by markusw »

Maybe the question should be: does VVR work equally well with both? :wink:
Sorry if this has been asked before....

Peace,

You need to get the specific VVR for each type of bias. The one for fixed bias is a little more involved because it changes the bias as the B+ changes. IMHO each works well.

I used many in both type amps, and they work great.

Cool, great to know! Thanks a lot for your answers 8)
(Actually, my question probably should have been whether VVR Bias tracking for fixed bias amps works well. :wink: )
