Carl Z	Re: Feedback Carl Z Bjorn; Short of getting into some long winded discussion on plate loads, THD, and RC time constants, the difference in tone will be marginal if you can hear it at all. The short form answer is that the smaller cap will discharge faster than the larger one. However, the 100k vs 120k grid resistor will equalize this effect to a great degree. I certainly wouldn't lose sleep over it Regards; Carl Z
