Forget 6L6 - boring, everyone and their brother has been-there-done-that, the good ones are expensive, and it's still not a triode!use the HK24s as front end for something cool like 45, 845, GM70, etc. HK24 has enough nuts to drive a big output tube, plus enough gain you can do a 2-stage amp. Jim Dowdy has a ripping (or so I have heard) 3c24->GM70 amp which kicks ass. Something like that is going to be WAAAAY more interesting to build/listen to than some ho-hum, boring, circuit-from-the-50s-that-sucked-even-then yawner of an amp with such overused tubes as 12ax7 and 6l6. IMNSHO of course. ;-) The interesting tubes are not the ones that everyone else uses.
