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

have you guys looked at the harmonic distortion pattern change going from one to two tubes?

I would guess that the "choir effect" and/or "smearing" has absolutely nothing to do with temporal effects...just not long enough distances or time delays. What might very well be changing though is the amount/type of harmonic distortion pattern that is being generated. Also, the size of the output transformer if it is not scaled accordingly for the paralleling of output tubes might mean saturation is worse for the paralleled output section and that makes new and less appealing distortions. All things being equal I would expect it to be inaudible but all things are likely not to be equal and therefore the distortion changes will impact the final sound...possibly inaudibly or possibly for the worse.
