your message is asking to have the essence of tube amplifier lore summed up in some sort of well-laid-out table of some sort. Well, it doesn't quite work like that, I'm afraid.
The problem is that many companies over the decades have produced variances on a number of common circuit topologies and then embellished them with fat-worded marketing terms. Then along came the generations of tube brands, designs and the whole age-of-enlightenment opened up, so to speak. That is to say, throw in so many component and topology variables and you can't really sum up much of anything, sonically speaking, into a simple table of characteristics.
If so, there wouldn't be much to this hobby, would there?
Cheers,
David
