You want a British 6V6, try a Brimar. A bit "tubey" for some, but a classic, rich, almost technicolor mid-range that is the essence of what many people seek in a tube.
I may be the only one here, but I am not a fan of the Bendix 5992. Compared to something like an RCA black plate, it's got a sort of hard, "steely", almost solid-state edge to it.
The most common NOS are of course the JAN Phillips. These are the survivors of one of the last large tube buys of the US military in the 1980's. They are good and very rugged tubes, better than any modern production I've heard. However they are not the equals of the better brands from the "classic era" of tube production (self defined by me as 1935-1965).
There are tons of great 6V6 and a lot of sonic variation. Few tubes are more fun to roll.
I'm a fan of the French Mazda and Visseaux. The reference classic is of course the 40's-50's RCA black plate.
My $.002. YMMV.
i'm check on some brimar, mazda and rca later(still recovering from this purchase).
and bendix 5992, i'll try that later but will be after trying all the 6v6g(big bottle). i always refer the big bottle from my experience with 6as7/6080. i never like the small bottle(6080).
