Illuminati (2nd Degree)

High-gm pentodes (say, D3a, E280F, E810F, EF184, 12BY7...) can be usable for single stage 300B driver with relative small anode load, say 8,2k-15kOhms. A=Ra*gm, and with Ra=10k and say, gm=5mA/V (possible with unbypassed Rk), we have A=50. But, internal anode resistance rp of the pentode is high, much larger then Ra - then our Rout = Ra // rp, and Rout ~ Ra - or 10 kOhms in this example.
We can observe cascode like "quasy-pentode" without g2 current and less noise, but the same "problem" is present - large internal resistance. I tried 5687 tube here, see the "report" down low...

For long time I experimented with various drivers, and best subjective performance/sound would be finally soldered in a nice box... Didn`t decide yet...

P.S. Interesting comparison of various pentodes (and some triodes) can be found here:
