Has anyone seen on a scope which breaks up first in a 5E3, the driver before the cathodyne or the power tubes?
Thanks

Re: 5E3 first break-up
No, but my guess would be the power tubes, otherwise the amp would not be amp to achieve full clean rms output.
Re: 5E3 first break-up
Power tubes. The cathodyne can swing more han 80 V, the 6V6s only need around 30 V + bias to reach full power.
Re: 5E3 first break-up
The originals had such dinky OT's they probably break up a bit there too..
