Sorry, Anthony, I do not follow what you are asking. What does it mean “panel meter on the DHT channel”? My DHT channel has a plate current matter. I find it useful but not truly necessary. My sited at 38mA for years and does not move. Hypothetically is should move lower than the cathode of DHT will lose emission… I just find is very convenient to have one single glance at the amp and to see all plate currents. Some people might advocate that a plate meter worsen sound, I valid argument but I voted against it.
That is what I meant, an ammeter for the DHT plate current.  I don't see that the plate current is adjustable anywhere in the circuit, and you don't show the meter in the circuit diagram so I wondered if you actually used one.  In my situation it will be difficult to fit a sixth meter as the amplifier chassis is currently laid out so I am tempted to leave it out.

I di don’t know that you factor in your amp a DHT channel. I think it is a good move. You might experiment to drive your DHT with DHT driver. It would be kind of violation of my main multimapping premise: to have all amp of the same topology but a properly cooked full DHT might be incredible interesting. In fact the most interesting amp I even hears in my life was 3 DHT stages….
Yes, I have five pairs of YO186 that I wish to try out as well as some 45's in particular.  The amplifier will be designed so that I have relatively easy access to the parts that I am likely to alter once I get it operational and I start fitting the amps into my playback.  Perhaps I will play with DHT drivers...the 841 looks interesting...but first I have to get everything built and tuned and then look at what, if anything, I wish to change.

This 3 stage DHT that you have heard is recent news?  Most interesting.  More details?
