I've used 3a5 - I found it pretty good though not one of the "great" DHTs. I'd probably prefer it to a 6SN7 for instance. Mu of around 15 which is handy. Not specially microphonic. Handy little tube. Can also be used in phono sections - there's an ingenious phono stage with it.

Had 6sn7 as the driver when I first got the amp. Completely underwhelming sound.

  Any tube can sound mediocre under certain conditions imposed upon it by the circuit.
