They are both twin triodes, with the same pinout. Apart from that, they are very different: gm, mu, bias, so there's likely to be going a change in sound. Dunno what will sound better, but at first glance, I'd be careful putting a 6CG7 in a circuit optimized for E88CC. The operating point will be rather different, and I suppose there's a risk in running the 6CG7 beyond its maximum ratings

Hi, has anyone tried replacing the E88CC tube with 6CG7 in your WA2?
The thought came to my mind when I was tweaking with tubes on my Lyr (now sold, after upgrading to WA2).
