Thanks for your reply,
I think I prefer FREDs, but I do not understand why one would not want the DC level to raise to full value right away. If there were a surge as like happens from low resistance filaments in circuit, I could understand. There is not. Why is having full rail voltage on output tube plate during warmup of its filament a problem?
