Interesting. The only time I tried a CF as a driver was my first 300B SE amp where I started with a 6SL7 direct coupled to a 6BL7 CF. It sounded pretty decent even with resistor loading on the cathode. Unfortunately I never tried a CCS on the CF driver. And since it was the first input/driver I tried for the 300B, I felt obliged to go on and try a lot of others and never went back to the first version.
On preamps with a CF the CCS made a major improvement compared to resistor loading.
