Whilst designing triode driver stages for a 300B SE amplifier, I looked into the input capacitance of high-mu triode (or triode-strapped pentodes) that are suitable candidates here. We know Miller capacitance is the big drawback of the triode driver stage, so I kind of liked the idea of testing how much this capacitance could be for the lovely Russian triode-strapped pentodes like 6e5p, 6e6p, 6j11p, 6j5p, 6j52p, etc.
