I've been using the Mazda Brimar 6cg7 because it's a little shorter than the other brands and thus it fits inside the chassis without modifications (this is an issue with previous AVA models, but not the ones that came out after Frank suggested the change in tube). I like it, since it follows the prime directive, "don't screw things up". Comparison with the 6N1P that it replaced says that the change is subtle at best; also, the 6N1P has a little more gain, so the volume knob has to go up a click or two.
Best 6CG7 tubes for Van Alstine preamp?
I use 2 6CG7s in my preamp (a Van Alstine).
Are there any substitute tubes I can use?
Any recommendations for good/best 6CG7s or substitutes are welcome. Any thought on the sound signature are also welcome. Thanks.

for re-asking here.)
