Hi,

Cathode circuit is connected to the point half in between the heater pins of directly heated triodes (such as 300B). I think this is to eliminate hum by connecting +Vh/2 to one and -Vh/2 to the other pin. Is it right ?

Is such a connection necessary if triode is heated with a DC supply ? will simply connecting the Vh (+) supply to one and cathode circuit to other pin of triode work ?

Thanks in advance.
