     However, this is NOT a cascode amplifier, its two triodes in 
cascade. A cascode amp has the two tubes in series with the plate of the 
first tube going to the cathode of the second. When made from two 
triodes it has similar characteristics to a pentode but a cascode can 
also be made with a triode and pentode in series where the pentode acts 
as a constant current load for the triode. Cascode amps were commonly 
used as low noise RF amplifiers in television receivers.
