..I won't argue my experience of beneficial resonance anymore than any tube guy should argue the beneficial presentation of odd harmonics by tubes...

believe it is the even harmonics not the odd numbered ones.

Some aficionados who prefer Class A amplifiers also prefer the use of thermionic valve (or "tube") designs instead of transistors, especially in Single-ended triode output configurations for several claimed reasons.
For those who prefer low distortion figures, the use of tubes with Class A (generating little odd-harmonic distortion, as mentioned above) together with symmetrical circuits (such as push-pull output stages, or balanced low-level stages) results in the cancellation of most of the even distortion harmonics, hence the removal of most of the distortion.

Yeah push pull cancels out much of all harmonics since both halves are working in opposition, but that doesn't explain single ended stuff, where there is no cancellation. Pure Class A is single ended for the most part. There is no symmetrical half.
