Has anyone ever seen a design wherein an 8877, or similar triode, operated in
grounded grid has the bias generator placed in the grid return line, rather
than in the typical cathode (grid + cathode current) location?
This implies that the HV return must be allowed to float at least as positive
as the bias value. The grid remains chassis grounded as usual. And the
advantage of this arrangement is that the bias generator need only pass the
grid current which is typically 1/10 of the cathode current.
A proposed circuit may be seen at:
