Hi Jamie
The best 6SN7 is a 6f8g ;-) Identical, bar the pin out, easily remedied with an adapter.. It means you can find tungsol round plate equivalents (and others) for a lower price. They also seem to offer more 'space' to presentation. They also look quite wonderful.
this, or to see if the pre can play with 6J5 (in case only a half of 6SN7 is used) or 6N7, a plenty to choose from at a fraction of the inflated price of 6SN7Quote:

I'm sure it depends on other factors in the mix, just the same as cables. But the Black Treasure CV181 are very nice [emoji16]

Busy trawling my 100+ 6SN7 collection as we speak. Nowt wrong with the Russian valves. A good, strong GTB will deliver all you would want as a rule, for the rest its circuit dependent.
For example I have matched pairs of bad boys, bass monsters, mouse ears, all the main GT, GTA and GTB variants, but to be fair no smokey war issue toobs. As a man who likes a rabbit hole, this is as good a rabbit hole as the 300b equivalent. Best avoided is my advice [emoji1787]

I’ve bought some adapters to use the 6f8g valves, the rca grey glass seem reasonable
Nice one Jamie, if interested I've got some sylvania 6sN7s tooQuote:
