Negative feedback, voltage and output impedance


Hi,

Can someone please explain the correlation between the above in a tube amp?

Since voltage output and output impedance are not commonly listed specs, how does one determine whether one amp or another is better in these areas?

TIA.

Sean,

The only amp I recall with user adjustable feedback is the Mesa Baron. I believe it is adjustable between 0 and 8db in 4 increments.

This is an amp I am considering purchasing, btw. It is a very flexible (can also switch between all triode and all pentode in 1/3 increments) dual mono amp and may be what I need in order to determine what works best with my ESLs (other than OTLs of course).

Kevin Hayes has also offered to make some mods to a PA100 for me which is another option.

Thanks.

Mike
All,

Thanks for the replies.

If I understand this correctly, if I want to buy a high power (voltage for ESLs) tube amp with low output impedance and low or no negative feedback, then I need to look at OTLs, correct?

Thanks.

Mike
