Tons of information here. I have read a lot but havent come across any deep discussion about 6sn7 tubes yet. Will any 6sn7 work provided I have the proper adapters? I have several 6SN7GTB tubes is why I ask. Thanks.

That's what I use:
Sylvania 6SN7GT. Nice all rounder lovely detailed highs
Sovtek 6h8c - surprisingly good for the price.
Brimar- gorgeous velvety bass.

If you have the Mk-2, I can wholeheartedly recommend a pair of Brimar 6SN7GTs with adaptors. Ive been running NOS Sylvanias and loved them till I picked up the Brimars. Very warm with silky vass.

Don’t suppose you have a link to the adapter?
Cheers

Hi, they are 6SN7 to 6CG7 adaptors from ebay. Just make sure it's 6sn7 top to 6cg7 bottom

I don't know to be honest. These are new Brimars and I've never tried them. You could do a lot worse than a pair of old sylvanias. They are cheaper than Brimars.

Just picked up second hand pair of sylvanias from 50’s. Should do the trick

Just picked up a load of TV and Radio valves and found a pair of unopened CV138 from GEC in amongst the dross. They are a type of EF91. I'm very happy with my CV4014 but I've just tried tbe GECs and I really like them. May be a bit brighter. Certainly less laconic. I think they may be my 'Rock' choice.

My latest pair: NOS Brimar 6AM6. The jury's out at the moment. The top end sounds a bit brittle and the overall sound seems a bit uninteresting. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh as they haven't broken in

I thought that picture looked familiar from the Tube group.

I'd also recommend the Osram Z77s.
