Well, sweet as compared to the Ken Rad 6f6, Tungsol round plate 12sn7, and RCA 5y3gt. That combo was a bit brighter and a little more "hifi" sounding to me. Also, I think I'm giving up on RCA 6f6, they just sound flat and a bit tinny regardless of the driver tube I try.

Hi Isaacc7,
I can confirm the good sound of the Raytheon 6j5gtw. they are almost as good as my Fivre and cost significantly less.
try the Phillips 6j5 mil. tube. looks like a 6sn7, but only 1Triod system is active inside.
Very balanced sounded, and absolutely quiet. no rustling and humming.
I have no experience with the 6f6, but I don't like the RCA 5y3gt.
I find these a bit flatter and slightly metallic, try a phillips or slvania instead of this one
