So phase shift remains constant no matter how much freq. increases?

Valid point, Tom, but Heath used the 572B in a subsequent amplifier
and they chose not to use RCA's g-g "neutralization" circuit. One of
the first amplifiers I ever installed low-Q suppressors in was a
squirrelly GSB-201. Removing the "neutralization" proved to be a
good move

However, since neither the cathode or the grid is at Ov potential at
VHF. and both have capacitance to the anode, the parasite problem is
more complex than it may first look.
