I have a preamp that uses 6x4. I did a lot of tube rolling. Going by the names on the bottles, I tried Tung-Sol, Mullard, Amperex, etc... I found, to my surprise (while the differences weren't huge such as a new GZ34 vs. a Mullard), that my favorite was the cheap and plentiful RCA black plates. Enough of a difference that I noticed, not enough that I truly worry about it. These are not expensive tubes so finding out for yourself is an easy proposition.
