Have you tried tube rolling? Tungsol top getter 5U4G is my favorite for transparent and open sound. I have not heard the latest 300B's, but the older ones I have tried do sound different. AVVT 300B C37 glass are me favorites, but rarely seen on the web these days. I think I tried two different 6EM7's on the Tektrons with little difference in sound quality. I know there are a number of different brands of 6EM7's out there. I also never tried any substitutes, like 6EA7 or 6GL7.
I admit I love tube rolling. Nothing like spending hours listening to music and fooling around with your gear.
