In my experiences. A properly designed and implemented direct feed transformer sounds better than that same transformer parafeed.
I have on occasion found exceptions to this particularly when the direct feed transformer was being pushed too hard or was light in inductance for the tube it loads. (what I would call improperly designed or implemented) In the above cases, parafeed can help particularly in the bass since removal of the DC current (if operated at high DC flux) can place the AC in a more linear spot in the BH loop and as Naz pointed out the CL resonance can be tuned to extend the bass an octave lower.
