RE: A good post...

I have many pairs of 6sn7 tubes including:
1940's Ken Rad Vt231, 1940's RCA grey glass VT231, Sylvania WGTA, Sylvania VT231, 1950's Raytheon WGT Sylvania GTA/GTB chrome domes, CBS/Hytron GT and many others.
I use them as drivers for my Rogue Stereo 90 Power Amp.Guess what? They all sound good!! My preference depend on which 12AX7(5751) input tube I am using and which output tubes are in.
With JJ KT77 I go almost exclusively with the RCA Grey glass combined with Brimar 12ax7 or Raytheon 5751 windmills. This combo adds richness and tonal colour to the presentation.
With the GL KT88 reissue I like something faster sounding like the Raytheon WGT or the CBS/Hytron combined with Tele 12ax7 smoothplates or GE 5751 Blackplates.
So the best 6sn7 depends on a lot of factors including the type of sound you are looking for.
