The GE 6BQ7A is no slouch when comparing to the big tube picture and the price make them more attractive. Look on Tube Depot, they shouldn't be more than $4.00 per tube matched.
I found the Russian 6N1P military to be acceptable, although they run hot since the heater current is higher, but they're bested by the GE's. Mullard tend to be warm sounding, so I match them with a "hotter" headphone, tone down the bright/treble sound.
