cathode is tied to the beam forming plate thru the 3.3 ohm resistor.Most of the 8B character comes thru its FB and transformer design.Yes,the some tubes tie 1 and 8 together but that isn't an issue that causes real problems that I have found.I will sweep my model 8 with kt77s again and kt66s and I will see if there is any issues with the FR being all over the place.In the meantime,you have an 8B,why not try some different tubes and see how you like it? Its not going to hurt the amp.
