Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Can sound cleaner but loses the magic midrange.

Only one way to tell - experiment!

My theory is that the missing even-order harmonics (which you would get with either implementation of push-pull) are the cause of the more hollow sound of P-P even with no feedback. So I would not ecpect this to do what you hope it will.

The theory of reversing magnetics to which you refer does not match with what is actually known about core materials, so I don't believe that theory.

However, even if I am right on both theories, that does not by itself prove that it's not in the transformer - one must remember that theories are just theories, and data is still data - so much of what we hear is unsupported by any plausible theory at this point!
