Lew,
My co worker, and good audio friend, used to get rid of cathode follower stages, from Audio Research SP3 A-1s, etc, and thought, into a tube amp, with short cables, the deleted stage sounded markedly superior !!
There are commercial products he told me about, it MAY have a C-J preamp series, where the only difference in the later model was an addition of a cathode follower stage, and most everyone prefers the early "simple " edition of the preamp, he tells me. We are referencing to the used market, and posted comments, after several decades of both versions' existence.
I can get the model numbers from him, if you wanna know.
