for the benefit of those who are not that familiar with 6SN7s or are looking to pick up some good ones. First the Sylvanias, despite Jeffery,s comments I love Sylvania 6SN7s and think they are all at least good.
From left to right (best to good)
Sylvania 6SN7W made for the navy, 1952 three hole plate "badboys" 6sn7GT, Sylvania VT-231, early bottom getter 2hole plate 6SN7GT, brown base 6sn7WGT, and early heavy top getter 6sn7GTA.

Some more of the best 6SN7s:
National Union black glass (never had the pleasure of collecting the grey glass), Raytheon 6SN7WGT, RCA 5692, Russian hole plate 1578, Tung Sol "mouse ears", and RCA VT-231.
A few from my collection.

in your photo, as well as some others like the metal base versions.
Years ago, when TS roundplates weren't as expensive, I once traded some of my TS roundplates for more Sylvania VT231's, purely on sonic preference alone, so you know I like my Sylvania sound :)
Unfortunately, the few I had were microphonic.
