RE: No, I guess that the concept of choke loading plates on a phono stage

"Why on earth would someone want to do this?"

For the same reasons you would want to use a plate choke on any other gain stage: to get full gain and low distortion from the tube without the heat and high B+ from resistive loading or possible solid state sound effects from a CCS, and most importantly for the good sound!

I built a plate choke loaded phono stage earlier this year and can say that, in my opinion, it sounds very good. From a measurement perspective with my AP it has a tight RIAA EQ tracking and low distortion.
