Hi Sheldon,
yes, the output resistance is calculated in the following way:
rout = RkKF II RS II riKF / (n x µ+1)
rout ≈ riKF / (n x µ+1)
rout ≈ 60KΩ / (0,5 x 101)
rout ≈ 60KΩ / 50
rout ≈ 1K2Ω
rKB = (riKB + µ x RkKB)
rKB = (75KΩ + 100 x 1K5Ω)
rKB = 225KΩ
n = RaKB / (RaKB + rKB)
n = 220KΩ / (220KΩ + 225KΩ)
n ≈ 0,5
rout is the output resestance of the cathode follower
RkKF is the cathode resistor of the cathode follower
riKF is the internal resistance of the cathode follower triode, from data book ≈60KΩ
riKB is the internal resistance of the cathode base triode, from data book ≈75KΩ
rKB is the output resistance at the anode of the cathode base triode
RkKB is the cathode resistor of the cathode base triode
RaKB is the resistor between anode cathode base and bootstrap cap =220KΩ
RS is the resistor from bootstrap cap to supply rail =220KΩ
µ from data book ≈100
Kind regards,
Darius

Hi kenpeter
The main intention was getting a factor >4 .
Putting two triodes in parallel is not possible because of the miller capacitance.
Influence of Cm at different volume settings
The bootstrap is a kind of "resistance multiplier"
ra = Ra / (1 - vu)
calculation of ra
Ra is the resistor between anode and bootstrap cap
ra = dynamic resistance to the triode's anode
vu is the gain of the cathode follower
comes from
Kind regards,
Darius
Thanks for the calculation Darius. I'll have to draw that up and chew on it for a while. Nice to see you back here.

Hello,
please help me and bring the following text into good English. I want to write it in the blog.
In the PC86 RL12T15 schematic update I made the compensation in the same way I did in the ECC83 300B schematic. The advantages of this modification are a more linear adjustment and an enlarged range for the adjustment.
In the Part three Radio News articles Loftin and White made two major modifications, Cgh and C3. C1 and Chb are combined to Cgh and this requires C3, see radio news text. I hate cathode decoupling i.e. cathode bypass caps because of their sonic influence. Please note that the cap divider C2/C3 moves the tapping of R1 to a more left position for compensating hum. This will not be the position for compensating the 'losses' of C2 and making the driver signal floating on the cathode level of the output triode. Adding dotted Cf cuts the 'Ultrapath' i.e. local circuit C2, triode and load.
Thanks and regards,
Darius

Hi Sheldon,
yes. In later applicationes Cgh is missing too. It is possible to make the hum compensation with C3 and C2 only. And this is the common method today e.g.
