For a SE circuit, yes, there would be a rise in output impedance (damping factor), but this is Class A PP circuit, so increasing the common cathode impedance actually has no effect on output Z at all - although there are minor secondary effects related to clipping, etc. when comparing zero impedance (normal cap-bypass) to near-infinite (current source).The re-discovery of the WE Harmonic Equalizer, lost since 1936, is prompting a lot of off-line discussion amongst the PP triode folks. The reduction of 3rd and 5th harmonics is real, measurable, and exists over a range of signal levels from 5 watts down to a few milliwatts. (Measured on a $15,000 Audio Precision analyzer with a noise floor at -120dB, so we're not talking test-equipment limitations here.)
