Sounds more like a 6A5G w/2.5 Volt fil and Mesh Plate...

The 6A5G looks like a 6B4G but actually has a filament center tap connection, as well as an internal cathode wired to this "extra" pin ! Whether a DHT or IDHT, these or the new 2.5V mesh plate versions are still going to be great sounding tubes and are easier to balance out any hum issues. DC heaters should not be needed. Film cap or multi-cap bypass can still be tried, but may not be necessary.
