I hear the benefit of CCS loading in low current small signal operation where a large portion of the voltage swing resides in the curved part of the characteristic curve of the tube. I recently made a couple of active loaded tube condenser microphones and I was able to use a single LND150 and the effect or benefit is as clear as daylight. Yet I have also active loaded a preamp with 6N6p running a 20 + mA per tube and there was no real difference in the sound when I took it out. I also have a active loaded compressor with 5965 and 6N1p running strong for almost 20yrs and sounding better than the run of the mill tube gear.
