In my upcoming DH Milq MF DSET I will have an Innerstage transformer and output transformer. The loading of output tube has known effect to harmonics vs. transients, it is know, it is predicable and it is manageable. The Innerstage transformer might or might not have a resistor in secondary that impacts the loading of the driver stage. The loading of the driver stage also has the harmonics vs. transients consequences.

So, what I wonder: how different sonically the impact of Innerstage loading from the output transformer loading. My Innerstage transformer is reconfigurable 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1. So, would the change in the Innerstage loading twice have the same sonic effect as the change of the output transformer twice (let discard the gain change or power change)? Does anybody have this experience to share?
