I dont have piece of equipment that uses 6SN7s currently. How do the 1940s "T" plates sound compared to the B.B.s?

The 40s tubes are not as nice as the early 50s Bad Boys IMHO. In the various gear I have had, the bass has been slightly fatter and less well controlled, and the 40s tubes have less sparkle on top.
You may have tried a tired specimen, because I've found the early 40s top-getter 6SN7GT to be much more aggressive than the Bad Boys. The Bad Boys has a very refined sound from top to bottom IME, but the earlier "chrome dome" Sylvania 6SN7GT has sharper attack, especially the treble.
Maybe. I have five or six of these, and while they are all pulls, they test very strongly and their getters are all sharp.
Maybe different sound in different circuits. But the flashing on these tubes stay sharp even when they're used, so it's hard to say if they saw use from the equipment they were pulled from.
