You are using the term incorrrectly (BTW). I put this kernal of knowlege in the same bucket as the Direct Coupled versus Cap Coupled argument and the no preamp versus the active preamp versus the passive preamp argument. It all depends, though all of them can sound good in the right circumstance. As for isolating the variables, your only valid conclusion based on your findings is that when employing the 6SN7, it is better in the Fi Primer variant than in the SRPP. Also, from what I know about 6SN7s, the sound of that tube depending on make, mfg and year, who knows if the same preferential topology would endure across all the various 6SN7s. I try to avoid using them when I can.
