I read an article a long time ago, maybe in audio magazine, maybe radio&tv news, to be honest I forget the origin. The author tested all the small signal pentodes, and the conclusion was that the 6J7 has better performance than the 6SJ7, 6AU6, etc.
What I meant about sockets, is I would prefer to use an octal socket instead of the old fashioned 6 pin socket the 6C6 and the 310A use.
