RE: cathode resistor

"If the cathode resistors are bypassed, there is no signal (AC) flowing through them, just DC. The signal (AC) flows through the caps, the DC flows through the resistors. You have two DC paths but (in your case with 6 bypass caps) 6 signal (AC) paths."

Agreed, but a far better question is WHY the capacitor {bypass for resistor in cathode bias} used has such a marked influence on sound?
