Cathode bypass cap removed and I like it

I removed the cathode bypass cap on my 2a3 final tube. I like the sound, although I have to turn up my volume somewhat to compensate for the lower output. The sound is much cleaner and leading edges / transients are more lifelike, especially with piano.

Now, that said, should the cathode bypass resistor (1K ohms) be removed as well? I currently have it still in place from the filament supply transformer center tap to ground. Not sure if I should leave it in place or remove the resistor completely.

Thoughts?
