I recently acquired some rebuilt vintage tube mono blocks. They currently have JJ 6L6GC Slovak power tubes. I'm fairly new to tubes and have no experience with this particular family and would appreciate folks' opinions/advice on possible future upgrades for those tubes. Thanks in advance for any help.

    6L6 SED =C= are superb. Since they are no longer produced prices have increased. Get them now while you can. 50-60's RCA's are the best but you will pay $100 or more per tube.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
