>>Not that the 12AT7 type can ever sound good. :-(<<WRONG! Please qualify your remarks carefully.
The 'T7 is MISERABLE in SE circuits, as its harmonic distortion spectrum is skewed towards 2nd order. OTOH, the 'T7 is DANDY in PP circuits, where the extra 2nd HD mates very well with the cancellation of even order distortion products in the O/P stage. The resulting "waterfall" NET distortion spectrum is PLEASING to the ears.
