That FB resistor as you call it is just the plate load for the 6AU6. I'd rather select a signal pentode that has a higher plate/g2 current ratio...the 6AU6 is rather poor, though I have had them work very well. Using the power tube's screen tap just sets the ratio of plate signal delivered to the signal tube. Plate to grid FB, and with pentode OPT's it can be done with a voltage divider too...the screen tap is just convenient...:) The type EL84 turns out to be a very fine signal pentode.
