I like the way this guy thinks.
So much energy has been spent treating Pentodes like Triodes to achieve another level of linearity, while, with a decent design, the Pentode / Tetrode can be a viable solution. I've recently had great results changing my triode strapped EL84 and 6L6 back to Ultralinear connections. Note: This is after years of learning how to design a decent power supply and how to proper drive power valves.
Don't get me wrong, the properly implemented triode amp is hard to beat especially if you're limited by your speaker choices.
