...regulate, that is. To join the ultrafidelista, next to every tube
shove up a bigger power tube to shunt its current. For those who were
educated too long ago to remember shunt regulation, and who haven't
"read" anything except Playboy since, shunt regulation consumes half
the power, so the shunt tube must be capable of handling twice the
desired operating current.



Yep, shunting is certainly a good solution, howver over the last six
months, I think I can get within 90% of the sound of a shunt with 20% of
the complexity.
