Best replacement tubes for my CJ PV14L have M8080


I know nothing about tubes per se. Am looking for the best replacement tubes for my CJ PV14L - the unit came with Mullard M8080. on the back of the tube it says, the following which means nothing to me:
6100
7410
CV4058
KB/QDD
I got a 6C4s sent to me which didnt work - the company sent the WA version (which I didnt order) and it did a few weird things.
If I can improve the sound i would be very happy.
Thanks.

I have an MET1; it uses 6 M8080s. The US version is indeed the 6C4, but that tube apparently was NOT designed for audio the way the M8080 is; the vast majority of 6C4s I bought, often by the half-dozens or dozens, were VERY microfonic and I tossed them. I did find some 6C4s--maybe 10% of those I bought--that were usable and I use them in the surround and SW channels, but you can't do that. Also, a 6135 is a heavy-duty version, and I have several--10 GEs and one Sylvania Gold Brand GB-6135. I have just 3 plainly labeled 6C4s, all RCAs. I kept one Philips 6C4WA and 3 Sylvania 6C4Ws. Do understand that this was from MANY-dozens of tubes.

...has a free tube-info app called TDSL. It indicates that 6C4s come in variants with 'P', 'P-EV', 'W', and 'WA' suffixes and also indicates that all the following are substitutes--CV-133, CV-852, EC90, and L77.

You can keep buying inexpensive 6C4s until you get enough to use, or you could just buy good M8080s from c-j.

The 8080 is not a very common tube. I don't know if you can find a sub for it. I would check with tube sellers Tubemonger or Brent Jessee, both of whom can be found on the web easily. They both know tubes and are honest sellers.
