I wonder if a Fet like 2N3819 (or any other similar) can be biased with negative voltage on Gate and grounded Source. I know Fets and Tubes are different animals, but is it possible to do?
With tubes, going negative grid "a la C12" result in a lower impedance and easier work for the transformer (less distortion), right? Don't know if there is anything more involved rather than impedance change but for now my ears like it more than the cathode bias.
Would I achieve similar result with a Fet?
In case it's possible, there are some mics that have negative voltage on the voltage amp for figure 8, could I try get the voltage from somewhere there?
Thanks and Happy Miclove!
