Why don’t you want to float the ground?

It's easy to protect circuitry with a properly connected diode along with the resistor between B- and ground.

Enlighten us please Charlie.

Folks-

In a GG amp, suggestions on how to measure Grid current WITHOUT the typical
semi-floating B-.

Using a SMPS. Plate current and Voltage are present as 0-5 volt full scale.

1) Measure Cathode current across Rk, and subtract Cathode I from
Plate I in an op amp to derive Grid I?

2) Untie the grid from physical ground, RF ground with caps, measure
Grid I across a small resistor?

3) ?

Thanks for flexing the gray matter.
