I prefer the sound of several other 5687 types to 6900. 7119 Amperex made in Holland is one. Early 60's RCA 5687 is another.

But is this surprising? Not really. Rarity of 6900 creates demand as much or more than sonics I think.

Over time the challenge of current tube making operations will be to match the quality from 60 years ago in post WWII 9-pin button base tubes.

I seriously wonder if the quality of peak of production can ever be matched.
