Anyway, I've also read lots of posts on paralleled tubes and it seems like one of those areas where everybody has an opinion, including some very well respected designers. There are also quite a few that double up on output tubes - an area where I can hear a negative difference. I do not however hear a difference in paralleled driver tubes. Not that others can't, I've said before that I'm a tin ear when it comes to many audiophile things.
As an example, I don't attach huge importance to ultra-precise soundstage because I don't hear it in live performances to the extent that some reproductions systems portray it. I have never heard instruments coming from off stage in a live situation but some audio types think it's a sign of added realism when the sound stage comes from outside the speakers in a home set up.
Perhaps using single driver tubes will allow me to appreciate things like this.
