Re: shared versus separate filament suppies....

If your tubes are matched exactly, no problem. But they could drift apart, one could need replacement, who knows. If they're cathode biased, they won't draw the same current, and the hot one may "run away" - goodbye!. You need to separate heaters (separate cathode resistors) or have adjustable bias for each.
