beware! you will have doubled the heater current requirement by running decent tubes.
Also, plate dissipation is not an input for distortion...:) the 6CG7 is just a better tube than the low-cost 12AU7 any day of the week, and twice on Tuesday...and especially at night.
So check on the heater voltage, and crank 'em up next time you play Fizbin.
