6ER5 Tube Question - Wright WPP 100 Phono Stage


I want to understand why this particular tube was used by this audio designer when no other designer/manufacturer seems to have done so (to my knowledge anywway). It is a significant curiosity that I have as an avid audio enthusiast.

Is there anyone on this forum whom might have spoken with George Wright regarding this phono stage and has an insight as to why this particular tube was used?

Opinions and guesses are also welcomed. Thank you

yep i have the answer to your question x1000 i knew George and probably owned more GW stuff then anyone on earth including the WPA22 which only 2 were made before he passed as the third was on the workbench when he died...and the reason why he chose the tubes he chose in ALL of his products was because there was probably NO ONE in the world that had more knowledge of tubes and their capabilities then GEORGE WRIGHT....he started in single digits hanging around one the the most knowledgeable TUBE guys in history...there ya have it
