Yep, the Maas 50 amp video was good Stevie. You might try building your own amplifier from scratch, it teaches you a lot.
Dig what your saying about valves. The thing I like about mucking about with valve's is that they're very forgiving if you screw up and make a mistake. As you say there are less component's too; it's tricky as a beginner to read a busy transistor amplifier schematic as compared to a valve amp.
It's not resistance (DC), it's impedance (AC)which is the trickier part of the circuit.
As you say Lawrence, it probably doesn't matter, it's gilding the lilly. In practice a lot of times I stuff cap's in any which way, in an audio amplifier, makes no difference. Would think it matter's more at RF where the frequencies are higher and as a result the reactance's are bigger.
