Hi OM,

One of those Class A characteristics. It is revealed by the rather
more simple solution to the difficult problem I offered:
What is power in?
What is power out?

This characteristic is part of the lore for those who built their own
equipment as one of several NEVERs
Don't let your amp run without drive;
Don't let your amp run without bias.
Both conditions can lead to melt down.

Unfortunately this kind of Ham memory is fading to the point where
many who witnessed this "internal resistance" are not here to point
out the obvious errors in understanding exhibited by the credit card
generation who build their rigs with plastic.
