Hi RATs!
I have switched to 6BQ6 
Got 18 NOS for US$9.95 off Ebait, a few weeks ago. I will not live to
see the tubes I have be worn out. Sigh.
Nobody will ever guess they sound good. They have a top cap
connection. So very scary

Happy Ears!

RCA 6BQ6 have Pda = only 11W, or less than 6BQ5.
Much better value can be had with 6CM5 or EL36.
In triode the 25W class AB1 is very nice.
