Best sounding 6SN7 VT231 for amplifier input


Any thoughts on the best sounding 6SN7 (VT231 or Mullard) to be used as input tubes on an amplifier. In particular, which are the most romantic sounding? I have heard good things about the RCA Vt231 and the Mullard ECC32. Any other suggestions? To be used on ASL Hurricanes. Thanks!

After trying out various WWII era Sylvania, RCA, and clear glass Ken-Rad VT-231s, I finally plugged in a newly acquired matched pair of black glass Ken-Rads and they have literally transformed my system.

They don't have the same top end extension as the Sylvanias, but I feel they have a more "correct" and liquid treble, lush mids, and solid bass. Bigger soundstage too.
Sugarbrie, I think I got a set of Raytheons and Mullards around here somewhere...need to try them out too.
