Thanks for the info regarding paritition noise as it applies to solid state
devices I was under the false impression that partition noise was generated
only by boat anchors! Since Ten Tec is primarily solid state (except for
amps) their equipment was partition noise free.

Yep, back in 1949 partition noise was defined as an instantanious shift in
the relative currents in the elements of a vacuum tube. Circa 1963
anologous shifts in current flow occuring in solid state devices were
detected as well.
It matters not whether it's partitioning between a grid and plate or base
and collector, random or quasi-random shifts in the current drawn from a
current source (cathode or emitter) and the active current sinking elements
(grids/base-plate/collector) still occur - and are still called partition
noise.
