I'm not as hung on using them in triode as Poinz. But go look at the plate curves of a 6V6 in triode. Gaaah! They're simply gorgeous!! Why this tube isn't used for audio more than it is boils down to the generalizations about "guitar" vs. "audio" tubes.Poinz and I definitely agree on something else too - the current crop of 6V6 is VERY good! The Tung-Sol reissues kill, and the EH are right there too.
Wander over to the Decware forum and read about "El-Cheapo". It BEGS for a bit more B+ and a nice pair of 6V6 Tung-Sols triode connected.
If you want to experiment with a pair of 6V6s that would be a great starting point. Of course Eric makes some killer stuff too, but if you need to watch the budget then check out "El-Cheapo". BTW, electrically 6AQ5 = 6V6 almost exactly.
