Re: Signal grid resitors values & output tube distortion???

T.B.	Re: Signal grid resitors values & output tube distortion??? Hi John, Is it better to have more voltage into the grid of your output tube or more current or is that subjective? I usually think of gain in terms of volts and to this date don't really get the current thing for driving another tube. I understand current of each individual tube and how that can affect tone, etc., but not as a driving force into the next stage. Can you or anyone explain that a little? Thanks, T.B.
