In my never-ending quest to tinker with the Particle Accelerator I harken back to @vigilante398's tutorial on Tubes 101 (https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/tubes-101-intro-to-tube-preamp-design.10625/) re: the relationship btw the cathode bypass cap and coupling cap in affecting bass response. If we're using a smaller coupling cap to moderate bass freq why do we care about the size of the bypass cap? The Kingsley Page, for example, has these itty bitty cathode bypass AND coupling caps. If he's thrashing out all of the bass with his coupling cap is he just beating a dead horse with the bypass caps?
