I was going to say in the title "Tube used as active load for Foreplay" but that really sounds bad. Anyway, have you tried using a tube configured as a constant current source for the foreplay? Looks like it could be done to the first stage replacing the 120K resistor. I think the 12AX7 would be a good tube as it has high plate resistance. By my rough and probably inaccurate calculations, the effective AC load would be around 5.5Meg. I'm not too sure a tube would be a good choice as a constant current source at the cathode follower; not enough voltage to work with.Just curious,
