RE: What tubes to use with this Interstage Transformers?

I have nothing against a real 1K source showing the core saturation. It's what I wanted to see and try it for myself too.

I can't, however, take a 1K series resistor, the same as 1K source. It's a limiting resistor and pretty dumb device to call it an AC impedance source.

Check that pic with the Tango curve again for the series resistor; you'll see the AC impedance source is the actual tube and not a series resistor. It's very acceptable to me. This discussion wouldn't never happened if I tried the same circuit with Tango as 1K Rp tube and see a core saturation on the IT I have. It's exactly what I wanted to see.

But whatever reason you think it is, think this yourself. At what voltage the core saturate for a given size transformer. Some small transformer saturate probably at a few volts while others take hundreds of volts to reach core saturation.

If you have a current probe, it's even better. Measure your own circuit with the current probe and post results.
