You Can DIY! Meet the Pentriode

This DIY-focused article introduces the Pentriode, a concept to explore the familiar idea of connecting commonly available pentode tubes as triodes, creating a circuit that excels in linearity. The Pentriode is formed by making one simple change to connect the screen grid to the cathode of a cathode follower. The article proposes different possible approaches, including for a mu stage, a design that the author previously wrote about for audioXpress. This article was originally published in audioXpress, May 2022.
