RE: Class A2 Tube Currents

Your understanding is the same as mine, so I'll conclude were are both right. :^) The cathode current includes the grid current plus the plate current.

The big effect that will shift the operating point occurs if the driver is cap-coupled to the power tube grid. Grid current will instantly charge the cap, and the power tube grid resistor to ground will slowly discharge it.
