"This low impedance current sink behavior directly competes with the output tube. Due to the high internal impedance of tubes, they don't have a chance against the capacitor. The capacitor will get its share well before the output tube."
There's not one iota of engineering truth to this. There's no "first," no "last," only impedance. If in fact the components ahead of the capacitor are unable to keep up with current demands, that's an entirely different and unrelated issue. None of this legitimately speaks to the performance of the cap or its interaction with the load.
