Could someone succinctly explain to an old duffer like me why it has to be "SE" in Triode amps. In my youth that was asking for even order harmonic distortion which a push-pull would cancel. My first big project involved replacing a push-pull parallel 2A3's amp with another to get more power in a high school auditorium. I must have been committing a terrible sacriledge (unintentionally, of course). I was so innocent in those days I even tried to explain negative feedback by going around the loop and got myself lost. Granted even order distortion is less objectional to the ear than odd order. But wouldn't less be even better? Please no cursing, folks.
