Thanks again, but I was asking for 6J5s to compare to my small collection of 6SN7s. As I just said to bcowen, I can't afford super expensive ss or tube amps, nor have I heard them. They say ignorance is bliss! I meant no offense whatsoever, was just speaking in naivety. But my theory is, in pursuing the most pristine sound from a tube amp possible, then I would most likely prefer to go with ss.In the Ultimat3 driving EL39 or EL34 the 6SN7 combination produces a very musical tone. You did ask for suggestions for 6SN7. It’s obviously all about the synergy between the driver and the output tubes, likewise having owned good SS amps I know they sound nothing like them. Good luck with your hunt for 6J’s/6C’s.
