Whether tube ( valve ) or transistor - damping factor ( a reciprocal measure of
amplifer output impedance ) is important.



Recently, someone wrote (Arny?) that "damping factor" isn't the right
term in this regard.
He pleaded for using the term "amplifier's internal output impedance",
which seems to be more appropriate here.

I can agree with that.
