What Unusual SET tubes you've tried & liked?


I'm hungry to try something new and different and want to build a SET headphone amp. Does anyone have any weird and wonderful tubes they have tried successfully used for this type of project that sound decent and are still available

Another good tube for SE use is the 46. Don Garber of Fi made some amps using it (even though it is a tetrode). 
I have a Will Vincent SET 45. Real nice amp! But its 1.75 wpc limits its useability with most speakers. My Sanei 560A with 2A3's is a bit better (3.5 wpc). Last, I have a custom-built SE amp using the 6BG6 tetrode. 6 wpc, the pair of output tubes are driven by a 12AT7 (each plate drives one output tube). Very good SQ, indeed! And 6BG6's are quite affordable compared to 2A3's and 300B's!
