RE: What value should an EL34 Cathode bypass capacitor be in a CCS?

"You can force this Class A operation with loading and operating point as well."

True. However, as long as there exists an AC signal path from an output tube's plate to its cathode any AC imbalance in the PP pair will generate imbalance currents which in the usual case flow through the PS. A stiff cathode current source will act to enforce AC balance. That's where a lot of the "purity" stems from.
