REPLY:

Well for one, does the software take into account the fact that the
tube is not a perfectly linear current source over its operating
range? Can you emulate a 6AU6 as a current source? How about an 807?
Or a4CX1000A? Does the software know the difference between a triode
current source and a tetrode or pentode current source? Do you?

Or does your software treat them all exactly the same, i.e. as a
"perfect" current source?
