This phase inverter requires the use of a full traditional preamp tube, two complete triodes. This provides one triode to deliver each half of the split signal, with a more complex network

With big amps that need to swing a lot of drive voltage, I really prefer to do the phase inverter earlier on. It''s much easier to design a good phase splitter if it doesn''t have to swing a lot of

Without a properly designed phase inverter (PI), an amp can feel flabby, harsh, stiff, or dull — no matter how good the rest of the circuit is. Let''s crack it open.
