The tubes are only one of the keys to a good sound. I've seen many flawed designs on the internet that are DHT and just don't deserve it. Mediocre power supplies, coupling elements, poor driver stage, poor hook-up wires,
If you want a good DH tube amplifier, you have to make sure all other components in the amplifier deserve it. Otherwise, it's just a waste of good tube IMHO.
Every component affects the sound quality in the SET: power supply - chokes, capacitors, resistors, rectifier, power transformer ; output transformer, bias elements - cathode capacitor/resistor, coupling capacitor/interstage transformer, grid resistors, the hook up-wire and also the grounding and overall wiring scheme.
