is a simple circuit: a voltage amp triode directly coupled to a cathode follower. It is basically the same circuit as a PV-11, PV-12, PV-8, and many other designs which abound.
I remember some of the guys on Maui who ran the PV-10, and many were, well, rather insular in their attempt to coax better sound out of the unit (not you, of course, but a couple of guys I know who hung out at Maui Audio). Many had fixed ideas of what constituted better sound also, and one guy I knew liked a very (to me) tubey, old school type sound. Still, as you are well aware of, different tubes, different coupling caps all can make significant changes to sound (I believe early PV-10's ran Solen caps for coupling, not my favorite for clarity). That changed over the years, but very few manufacturers will run the best available caps in a baseline model, but I am sure you know that also.
There is very little that's new under the sun for tube gear.....
Again, YMMV.
