What is the difference in the end between say using a DN2540 style CCS at the anode vs a LM317 CCS at the cathode? Isn't the end-game objective the same to fix the DC current? Does the anode CCS also provide a higher impedance load benefit, whereby the cathode CCS would only fix the current but not ease the load? What if my driver stage currently uses an interstage transformer load, could adding a CCS above anode choke really improve things beyond a choke alone? Basically if you had a driver stage that had a interstage anode and cathode resistor. And you wanted to add a CCS, would you add it at the cathode or anode?
