I'm sure you know this, but the ECC35 is closest to a 6SL7, not to 6SN7.

Bob, Thanks for the reminder.  The BA is a "terrible amp" for the wallet, especially after mods to accommodate PX25s.  I also found out with an adapter, AD1 can also be used.  
 
I just purchased a B65 clear glass.  I would love to hear your impressions of the clear glass vs smoke glass.

cacatalysis you're becoming an addict fast, watch it!
 
Very nice amp and tubes, well done.

Ahhhh...yes.  The BA allows a huge tube list - I'm sure that is very bad for the wallet!
 
I have mostly preferred the tall glass, short base ECC35 and ECC33.  The short brown base ECC35 you were considering getting is a truly excellent sounding tube, and was my very favorite to use as a 6SL7, back when the phono preamp I was using was 6SL7 based.
 
Just a hint, I could probably be talked out of a short brown base ECC35 for a pretty reasonable price...

Your last sentence does not help.  Kiertijai just told me ECC35 is the best to listen to my favorite violinist.  I am also offered both the short brown and black 91940 vintage) versions of ECC35.  What a combined influence!

The ECC35 are nice sounding tubes, make sure you get some strong ones.

This is your steal of the PX25 equivalent tubes (M.P. Pedersen U4E8) for your new BA (less than 1K) with tungsol 6SU7GTY
sorry for the " not so nice" pictures

 
and if you wallet is big enough I am delighted to tell you that the BA can also use these tubes (TFK brand),
have fun but please work hard too

If we are talking 6SL7's, I think the Tung Sol 6SU7GTY (black glass round plate) is really the 6SL7 I liked the best of them all.

I would add the TS BGRP VT-229 to the list of nice inexpensive 6SL7 type tubes.

Stavros recommended this 6SU7GTY some time ago and I fell in love with them using this tube
with BA and LCD3.  BTW I got this 6SL7 from a seller in exchange for a dead tube,  he did not know
which 6SL7GT ?    I played in the BA and it is quite good with the LCD3.  What is the brand of this 6SL7GT, thanks

As you know I have no choice but to work extremely hard now.  My set of Pedersen is still set quitely in the "original box".
