"The front end was engineer designed to work with a broad range of tubes."
You have missed my point. If the circuit was designed to "work" with a broad range of tubes, then that means it will not get the best out of any of those tubes.
To get the best out of a particular tube, the circuit has to be fine tuned for that particular tube. So a design that will "work" with more than one particular tube is not optimized for any particular tube and therefore not getting the best from any of the tubes.
The designer's posted load lines below prove my point.
See what I mean?
