6Y6G coke bottles

The tone of the 6Y6G tubes which I heard seems a little "bigger" or more open than the "GT." But, that maybe simply due to the bigger coke bottle shape. A psychosomatic thing. Coke bottle shape just looks more sexy! 8^)

I think the same way in amps I own, which have the coke bottle shaped 6V6G or 6L6G. Versus 6V6GT or 6L6WGB.

It may also be due to the era which these tubes were made. 1930-WW2. Many are mil spec (VT designation), gray-glass, black plate, with deep colored silvery-brown getter flash. Construction is outstanding.
