Ok Mr let's talk about those red LEDs. 
That's a nice looking board.

Re: The "Holy Grail" of resistors?
Heh - those LEDs are just to set the bias of the first 2 gain stages - with 2 of these particular LEDs in series, I get about 1.1 VDC at the cathode. Different colors and sizes of LEDs have different voltage drops, so I like to buy batches of mixed LEDs and try several types.
Some people call this "LED fixed bias". The response is like a fully bypassed cathode.
For fun, try it with a 12AT7 and a 1M anode resistor in a high gain preamp

I have tried it in a 50w with many different single diodes but shooting in the dark for impressions. Hrmm..
You do beautiful work. Love the layout.

You are too kind

What kind of benefits I can have using CC resistors as a grind inputs, and in cathodes?
