RE: The lm317 is a constant voltage source

"In terms of DC, the total current will match the set current but why would that current necessarily be evenly divided between the two output tubes?"

You can use two CCS, one for each half and AC couple the cathodes with a capacitor. The trade-off is a capacitor in the signal path. Something I've wanted to try just to see how it would affect the sound. Matching tubes for my PPP mono-blocks can be a bitch.
