Re: load resistor for the tube

I don't consider less odd order distortion
sweeter just less fatigueing. "

I think less distortion of any kind is sweeter.

"The ECC99 and the trioded EL84 have a
remarkably similar graph especially
with a horizontal load line "

I'm having trouble seeing that. The triode curves for the mullard EL84 do not look near as linear to me as the ECC99. In fact, not even close.
