BH Paramour grid choke mod?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Hi
I have heavily modified Bottlehead Paramour amp that uses 76 driver C4s loaded, 180vDc on plates, Schottky diodes on cathode 9vDc, 1.22uF parafeed cap, 750 ohm tantalum grid stopper 220k tantalum grid leak resistor going to Emission Labs 2A3-S. Parafeed cap is about 11uF, Iron upgraded to BH-5 Full Nickel output and BH-6 Plate Chokes, Audeze LCD-2 Headphones connect the system to my ears.
I've been doing upgrades for over 10 years and it sounds amazing. I'm slowly running out of ideas as how to improve the sound and I've been wondering about replacing 220k grid leak resistor with grid choke. Magnequest and Lundahl LL 1670 seem like good candidates. From what I've read it should impact the sound in positive way, does anybody have experience with similar circuit ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
