Where you have to look is for a given voltage and current for the 6L6GC and the EL34, then look at the Zout for each, you will see that the Zout for the 6L6GC is over twice that of the EL34 for comparable conditions. They are very different tubes and just because they have the same pin out (more or less) and bias in the same general vicinity, does not mean that they are electrically identical. The circuit that is optimized for the EL34 is not optimized for the 6L6GC. That is all I am saying.

- Sheesh, what does it matter? Everyone I know states 6L6 sounds better than EL34,I DON'T believe in coincidence - Cleantimestream 12:21:43 02/22/15 (11)
