Well, since I wasn't sure I would really like the 6Y6 type, I purchased some GE JAN 6Y6GTs on eBay. These are the straight bottle.
So now I find that I do really like them, I might like to hear the -Gs. There may be some gray-glass version, too.
What do you like about the -Gs?
Follow Ups:
The tone of the 6Y6G tubes which I heard seems a little "bigger" or more open than the "GT." But, that maybe simply due to the bigger coke bottle shape. A psychosomatic thing. Coke bottle shape just looks more sexy! 8^)
I think the same way in amps I own, which have the coke bottle shaped 6V6G or 6L6G. Versus 6V6GT or 6L6WGB.
It may also be due to the era which these tubes were made. 1930-WW2. Many are mil spec (VT designation), gray-glass, black plate, with deep colored silvery-brown getter flash. Construction is outstanding.
Thanks for the heads up. When I stuff this all into a chassis, I'll leave some room between the output tubes to handle the larger size Gs. It's good to hear of others' experiences, especially with those tube types that are not discussed often.
