...the Cary SLP-05 that I once owned used several 6SN7 and was the best sounding tube linestage I ever had. It was 'tubey' w/o the tube drawbacks. In other words, it was hugely dynamic, not wimpy polite like some, not at all rolled off with excellent bandwidth up and down the range, and it was transparent as in 'clear'.
I messed around quite a bit with tube rolling the Aesthetix Calypso which is also a nice tube linestage but not in the same league as the Cary SLP-05. Also had a couple 6H30 based ARC which don't sound much like tube linestages to me, not by my taste anyway.
