Though I'm an electronics novice the 6GM8 is in essence a low voltage, low gain 6DJ8. I built a headphone amp with this tube and it seemed a bit restrained at the frequency extremes though this is likely very circuit dependant. When I acquired my stash of 6GM8's a few years ago they were quite inexpensive. Don't be put off by domestic brands as all I've seen have been European, made by Valvo, Amperex and Telefunken! Yes swaping in the Tele's gave it that vintage Tele enhanced midrange-rolled off lows and highs sound all for about 6 bucks each NOS! A NOS 6DJ8 Tele would probably cost about 200 bucks. So you could tube roll a 6GM8/ECC86 based amp for potentially very little $ invested. Cheers Steve
