My understanding is that the ECC 32 draws more amperage than a 6SN7, I don't recall what the ECC33 draws. I am fortunate to have very good examples of both. The 32s have more gain which sort cheats, you might conclude it has a bigger slamming tube, but actually hasn't made me think so. The ECC 32 does have a certain "gravitas" not seen in the straight bottle tubes. The ECC33 sound is more like a regular 6SN7, with an emphasis on clarity, midrange energy and detail retrieval.
I have only 4 pairs of the Tung Sol GT round plate. Which BTW are always in black glass so if you have a true TS RP you don't need to add BG, people please.
2 of the pairs were bottom feeder tubes I bought a decade or more ago, only one other pair proved to be a really good sounding tube. I have bought a pair of very original TS gts from military stock which are stupendous.
I am holding back my thoughts on these RPs because I Iwant to see what others say first,
