One of the reasons plate caps are found on high power audio and transmitting tubes is it allows higher voltage to be applied to the plates than would be possible with a connection to the tube base. BTW I like to use 807's instead of 6L6's some of my in Guitar and Stereo projects because they are cheap, plentiful, reliable, and super-retro looking.
