I tried a PP 45 amp built identical to a PP 6V6 triode connected amp. Everything the same and the 6V6 sounded better. The 6V6 sounded more immediate & engaging plus had the same clarity of the 45 amp. The PP 45 amp was very smooth sounding and clear.
After rolling a lot of 6V6 tubes only the Sylvania 6V6G or Sylvania 7C5 sounded great. Both tubes had the same oval plate. Later Sylvania had a different plate that was part oval and had a box shape at the ends.
