Yeah, when you look at what's actually going on in this "de-stressed" 2A3 amplifier, lack of stress isn't actually an inaccurate way of describing things. When you push the output stage, the 2A3 just shuts off for part of the waveform, and gets to take a little break during playback.
Most of us who build single ended amps consider this bad design (or maybe just sloppy design). It isn't that hard to imagine one or two people out there who really like the sound of that much asymmetrical THD.
