I have read up on the 10y tube but can't seem to find much on what inmates prefer between the 10, 10, 10y, vt-25, 801 and 801a (and whatever else might be equivalent). I am getting a 6j5/10 amp shortly and want to look into getting some nice tubes for it. TIA

Aidiobag and JackG,Did you DIY on your amps or buy somewhere?
I've got a bunch of the 801A NOS sitting here and have not had much luck in finding a good schematic or a built unit.
Thanks,
I had some type 10 SETs built for me a while back. They can take any of the variants. I still use them in my bedroom. I have a pair of Cunningham CX-310s with some mids that'll make you weak in the knees. A bit shelved off in the extremes though.
Sorry, no schematics.

The favorite of the ones I've tried is the RCA 801A. In my amps, they are the most linear sounding, top to bottom. Better transparency and soundstaging too.
Of course, YMMV.
