In your or anyone else's experience, what is the best 6AV6 tubes out there in terms of soundstage, treble and detail?
MIKELAP's posting that you quoted from is in regard to 6-volt double triodes, namely 6DJ8 and 6BQ7A / 6BZ7. These are very different than the 6AV6.....
Of all the 6AV6 I have heard, the GE, Toshiba, FIVRE and Tung-Sol 6AV6 (and sisters, 6AT6 / 6AQ6) with box getters have the best sound stage, treble and detail. And further, after reading Mordy's observations, I think I can safely say that any 6AV6 with box-getters should be excellent.
