Herman - thanks for the compliments. Your uncertainty in your last note about the emitter resistance lies in the fact that the resistance's definition is ambiguous in my statements. There are actually 2 emitter resistances, one internal to the transistor, re prime for those interested (which is in the circuit regardless) and the emitter BIAS resistor which is the one being bypassed in my description. Bias stablitiy is indeed improved with the bypass cap since the emitter bias resistor if there for that very reason in the first place.
I am glad others were able to fill in for the cap roles in tube circuits as they are foreign to me. Makes for good info! Arthur
