Steve Deckert discussed something similar in describing his Tori Mk IV amp. His amp was configured to allow him to switch in an ammeter to measure total current flow from his output tubes. When the ammeter was switched "on" it acted like a small resister downstream of the two separate cathode resistors. Is made a dramatic positive difference in soundstage. I simulated it by putting 5 ohm resistor downstream of my cathode resistors. It didn't make much difference that I can tell. However, my temporary listening room is not ideal. Read his article. https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1626054622/77
