What do you mean by 'sonic verdure'? Do you mean virtues?
If so I would say that they typically offer a lighter, unfettered presentation of timbre & dynamic range across the full frequency range provided that the HT and LT supplies allow them to. This has been most noticeable with the linestage project where the 10Y sounds boundless.
I really don't feel that the kind of low impedance power supply that you are describing (particularly if achieved through using large final smoothing caps) will give a good result with DHT's but please feel free to try it. I would contend that the nature and design of a filament supply to use with indirectly heated triodes is very, very different to that required of DHT's. Your LCRC supply will put that large final cap right in the signal path, you won't like the results and may again dimiss DHT's as the misguided fetish of the audio morons!
