"You can't realistically expect to reach DF's level in the audiophile game. "
What most of us are doing already exceeds what Dennis does.
Most of us use a power supply filter that works, Dennis doesn't.
Most of us use a driver stage that has a low enough output impedance and a high enough current delivery capability to properly drive the Miller capacitance of the output tube, Dennis doesn't.
Most of us use a cathode bypass capacitor that is sized to insure that there is no local current feedback all the way to the lowest frequency of interest so the damping factor of the amplifier is not compromised. Dennis doesn't.
I don't know where you got the idea that Dennis is some kind of special, he's not. The fact that you think he is just shows that you don't understand audio electronics very well.
