If you value sound stage depth & width(excellent ambiance recovery), neutral reproduction(no phony warmth/tubey editorializing) and fast/accurate bass; either the 1940's round plate Tung Sol 6SN7GT(JAN CTL) or Sylvania 6SN7W(JAN CHS, TALL BOTTLE ONLY, metal or Bakelite base) tubes are phenomenal. The Sylvania possessing a bit more bass slam. Either choice will cost dearly, but- are worth every penny, IF you value faithful music reproduction. The 1940's, BOTTOM GETTERED, Sylvania(JAN CHS)and Ken-Rad(JAN CKR) 6SN7GT/VT231's are next in the accuracy department, with just a bit less depth of sound stage. Just as beautiful everywhere else.

BTW- Note the metal strip construction(top supports) of the
Tung Sols. I've not tried the round mouse-eared or
round mica types, so- can't vouch for them. Also- the short
bottled Sylvania 6SN7W was terrible(IMO). Way back when; I
tried the top 12 tubes on this survey:

stated above, is what I found.
