RE: What are the pros and cons? nt

Some people say there is a smearing of detail but I think that the extra current available makes up for any chance of the speed of sound being able to out pace electricity.
I found in the case of 6SN7s that the halves are usually quite well matched and there is no gross imbalance between sections. That's not necessarily the case with a tube like a 6BX7 which can have a greater difference between sections.
Bottom line, it depends on your requirement and who you let make up your mind.
