Ok, so what we often call a gyrator is not technically a gyrator. This page is named after the circuit popularly referred to as a gyrator, not an actual gyrator.
I’m developing a little PCB for a simple gyrator circuit to be used in an upcoming integrated preamp project (2nd stage of phono circuit: needs gain and low enough output impedance to drive a volume pot). The thing that’s most intriguing to me at this point is how a gyrator lets you set an anode voltage rather than anode current (but still maintains a high impedance for AC). On paper, this looks more flexible in rolling compatible pinout tubes than setting a current. And what the heck, it’s a new circuit to try!
