RE: 6cg7 tube question...

I imagine it is amp dependent, but I used to have a preamp that used the 6CG7. When I bought it in the early 2000s, "the" tube was supposedly the RCA cleartops. After trying every brand I could get a hold of I found I liked the RCA blackplates and the Toshiba labeled tubes better than the cleartops, but the best tube in my preamp was the Mazda.

Upscale has them but the price is going up. The stock of NOS tubes is going to run out some day, so if you find a tube you really like, buy a lifetime supply. They are almost like an investment, they will continue to get more expensive, and you will be able to get your money back or make a profit if you no longer need them.
