It's a little late now, but why would you choose a class A amp over a
class B or AB push-pull amp? Input to the finals approaches zero in
class B with no input signal. Back in the day, when I had more of a
clue about these things, I found the B or more usually the AB (just
slightly biased for plate/collector current) to be inherently more
linear, with fewer harmonic products (as seen on a scope in both the
time and frequency domains).
Are there advantages to class A as heard by the discerning ear?
