Yes, how a tube sounds in any particular bit of equipment is a kind of random confluence of small mechanical differences in the tubes that reacts a certain way in certain circuits that creates a pleasing sound to one's ears. And some tubes have universal approval too and sound good in a variety of gear.
There is also the impression most of us have that if a tube is precisely engineered it has to sound good e. g., the RCA 5691 or Bendix 6900 tubes. Well, maybe, if we are lucky. But the early 1930s tubes sound good too. They look pretty primitive, but who knows, maybe it is the simplicity of the mechanical structure of the filament, cathode, grid, and plate in its concentric layers...
In the end, the 6SN7 is generally used by those who don't read their tube manuals every night before bed.
