That does it for 6sn7's. Thanks, guys.

But how about 6AS7's? Each of my Atma M-1 monos has an array of 7 pairs of tubes. Is there an order of preference here as there is with the input tubes? I can imagine that the first pair in the array "sets the tone" for what follows and therefore contributes the most to good sonics. I dunno.

The premium 6as7's seem to be RCA's and Genelexes. No way I could buy 28 of the suckers (maybe Warren Buffet could stake me. "Warren . . .?" Nah, I didn't think so.), even if I could even FIND that many.

But maybe the first pair in each amp? Hmm. Maybe. . . if that would do any real good.
