RE: 6CM6 SE amplifier

Sorry, took my two pups out for a short hike this morning.

I think that EL84 tubes have more focused/defined bass response, and a little sharper attack that can be....on occasion....a little too sharp?
6CM6 tubes are more....er....well....'tubey' sounding?
But not in a bad way, just a more relaxed presentation that's all.

I have:

4 pairs of Sylvania black plates.
3 pairs of RCA black plates.
1 pair of GE black plates,

I also have seen Sylvania grey plates, and most of those Sylvania black plates that I have are rebranded Philco.
