The spot I can find but the loadline? I usually just add the drop over anode resistor to get the zero mA point. Now I dont have an anode resistor.
Its trying to be very big Z for AC when a choke is loading so it passes from the same point but horizontally If I remember correctly.
I left computing 20 years ago. Nowadays I just boss around pretending. This is instead of wearing diapers at the gents club
Indeed. I think its blowing up for an actual build. I'm thinking of either LL1668 http://www.lundahl.se/pdf/1667_68.pdf 50 mA or on the cheapo 050-80H65 Audio Catalog=
I didnt trust that I actually had 0,594 gain in this config or suspected my measurements as cuckoo so I did a test. Pico says 1 V out but no spec on that. The measure says 0,594 VRMS out when thru CF. If I connect Pico Gen 1 V out to Pico Scope it says 703,6 mV in. Thats a fraud. Some kind of mixup of p-p to rms I guess.

Seems like computing, right?
But I look super unlinear. 2 clicks to -15 and 2,5 to -25 C-G.
FFT it and if high THD move your point regarding the DCR of your choke by adding some resistor to it. Can't be really CCS horizontal with a practical choke, it should go elliptical at a point and those charts are GE vintage so don't try nail it by just eyballing, better measure. Your PicoScope does 16bit FFT. Use expected amp output load.
I will eyeball it tomorrow. Get linear or die is the word from Salas.
Well. I think it sounds good. Its punchy and bright without flaring out. Eyeballing will fix that np.
Lower the the choke DCR and maybe voltage and would be interesting

Only watch twice when you measure and take your time to evaluate the gear settings. I trust its much lower THD already than what you may fear.
Yes among others for 24bit audio card FFT. Lately mostly with ARTA bcs its balanced in goodness across several things. And I don't forget useful details by changing the GUI clues across programs all the time. Your Pico should be very indicative with 16bit also. Its not an AD797 super chip to test.
Its spec mentioned FFT. Read the manual to see if that is correct. It should have something in its software bundle for that. Or some sub menu on what interface you use now.
