RE: Resistor on the interstage transformer

What about a bifilar 1:1 IT ? I found with a dirt-cheap £30 Hammond 126B and also C models , adding a resistor worsened the measured response and also the sound . So I ran these devices wide open . Lundahls on the other hand , I had a different experience WRT the secondary resistor but these were for pushpull rather than SE useage

From my experience with the 126 , a lower driving Ra is preferred...

The impedence specifications I always find misleading with IT's . What manufacturers should always specify is the ratio and primary inductance along with ungapped DC current rather than this generalised 'impedence' thing .
