Similar to your Rocket88 amp, when I ran EL34s in my Cary V12R - I ran mid '60s Sylvania Black Plate 6SN7 in the SLP98. That combo worked well with the Mundorf caps in that amp as well. However, if you ran something like KT88s in the Rocket88, perhaps you might favor the Sophia 6SN7s in the 98 then. Tip one side and balance out on the other. Its great you have all those 6SN7s to try in the 98. My SLP98/Amps and sources are more sensitive to interconnect changes too once I started down the path with an SLP98 paired with more transparent Mundorf SESG caps in the amps.
