It`s not easy to evaluate and describe sonics. Tha "base" sound is SE 300B output stage coupled with my speakers (JBL 4208) - soft and warm.
I tried two CCS versions, one cascoded DN2540 mosfets, and MJE350/BC558B/LED (from M. Jones book, similar to C4S). Although later has lower Rout, I didn`t find the difference in sound in short listening test - 6J5 tube, anode out (more experiments later:-)). In comparison with 22k load resistor (about the same operating point), both CCS-ed versions sounded much better - cleaner...
