I'm just talkin' about output impedance

gimme exact Aikido sch. and I'll tell you more

Here it is...

[Zen Mod]

well , it's easy

try your Aikido with crippled and with regular F4 , then choose what you like more

I don't like Aikido ; somehow lacking in dynamics , comparing to some other brute solutions (which I like more - killer PSU and high xconductance toobz)

I know certain toobz pre with excellent psu that makes a sweet combo for naked F4 if you are interested. Beats any SS pre I have tried, but I have not tried them all.

Sure, why not. Can you post schematics or link?

Look up Salas 6v6. Excellent musical pre. Will give you a taste of big triode pre.(triode strapped beam tetrode, i think)

Any chance of a sneak peek ZM

[Zen Mod]

not much presented on line

just old WOT , which I made ages ago - WOT preamp and battery charger

several musings ( some as dedicated line stages , some as dedicated gain stages ) are on Baby Diya , but I'm too lazy to present them in comprehensive way

in any case , mix'n'match of sand and glass

Can anybody point me in the direction of the thread/post that discussed modifying the Twisted X-BOSOZ (cc-ccs-x-bosoz) to drive a follower amp. I am not sure where I read that a few years ago.

Thank you,

Steve
