particularly in the area of midrange definition. Besides, what have you got to lose by trying the 6BL7/6BX7 family? You could even just wire up one side of the tube - you'll still have a 10W dissipation rating (the second anode only adds 2W due to thermal proximity of the two sections). I have found these tubes to have an open, neutral sound that is much more appealing than triode-strapped screens. I would also suggest that you try running the tets/pents with fixed screens and appropriate NFB, just for comparison. I have always believed these tubes perform best sonically when operated in their native format.
