Hi
BigKidz your observations are spot on in my opinion regarding the absence of signal path capcitors. In my own experience it seems that designs that use DHT and an interstage transfomer in place of a capacitor do seem in general to be more pure and natural in sonic character, by this I mean less of an electronic/mechanical artifact that I now notice with the more common pentode tube/signal cap alternatives. I do realize there are exceptions to this personal observation.
