RE: 6SL7

Cal,

Someone would use a 6SL7 because it has the more overall gain, to have a lively sounding , FUN amp, with a fantastic jump factor at varying listening levels, which a 6SN7 would never do, and the 6SN7 two-stage DC amp would be pedestrian at best, a boring and dead sounding amp, like most amps out there. FYI, a mu of 100 12AX7, properly implemented, half a section, will beat em both, be even more fun to hear.

I've heard and built it, others have too.
