It can be improved considerably. The '52 Sylvania 6SN7GT can be improved by wrapping the transformer with mumetal, using Xtreme AV Quicksilver Gold contact enhancer and by employing Herbies Tube dampers. Just saying.

    You weren't talking about improving the tube, you were talking about improving the environment the tube is living in.
    
    This is why I don't allow the power supply to live on the same chassis with gain tubes.
