There is at least one better way. Use a fixed 10m pi-network with the
input capacitance of the tube(s) acting as "C2". Make C1 = C2, so the
impedance transformation is 1:1. No tuning is required, and the network
becomes transparent at low frequencies so it doesn't even need to be
switched out.
Alpha use it on the 91/99b, but the idea is much older.
