I wanted to say, "yes", but, I think once you've entered the category of very linear, subtle imperfections may be preferred over other subtle imperfections. Also, some may become used to a certain exaggeration (non-linearity) and when it is "improved" (made more linear) think something is "missing". Seriously. This takes careful comparisons to detect, as well as a musician's understanding of music or close.
Loading can make a very audible difference in my experience, which is why I suggested advanced versions as a possible way to "go beyond". I meant to suggest in my previous response to CCS load BOTH the driver and the output. I plan to do this myself, using a 45, and will report when finished.
And to contradict myself, I found 10's to be a very honest and clean sounding tube, though NOT technically as linear as a 45. I didn't say "sounded better", nor would I say, "sounded worse". Because I don't need any more gain than a mu 20 driving a mu 3 (60), I also plan to try a 10 (mu 8) driving another 10 (64) which should have a similar overall gain.
"Maybe" 2 x DHT's will have something that IDHT x DHT doesn't. ? We'll see.
