I have a nice little test bed amp using 71As a 400vB+ and 10k plate resistor cap coupled to a rat shack line tranny gets .7 watts and nice bandwidth. Without a cathode resistor bypass cap output goes down to .5 watts but looks nicer. I've yet to listen to this rig it was intended to drive input transformer phase splitters.

I think it's useful for low power apps or where a high B+ transformer is all you have the resistor might get hot and needs dissipation attention.
