The 6C8G is in my view 'the 6SM7 that never was'.
Octal with a top cap, mu just under 40, runs nicely at about 4mA and dissipation a bit under 1 watt. Pretty much midway between 6SL7 and 6SN7.
I use this in a mu stage as driver for my best SET amp. The mu stage runs about 10mA total current, from a low impedance, and will swing over 100V both ways, so it'll drive a typical power triode very well indeed.
And it sounds very good! Look at those curves ....
