RE: Found a great driver tube in the 6BL7

Eric Barbour penned some articles about using 6BL7, 6BX7, etc. for VTV, and pointed out linearity of these tubes were excellent. They do have some advantages over 6/12SN7 tubes.

In the circuit they are being used, the results are readily noticeable. The biggest difference is with low level detail when listening to classical music. Much less hiss/background noise when playing back the audio signal. Vocals also sound more realistic. 6SN7's are known for tending to be a bit on the noisy side.
