...and since you already have the adapter, changing out only six resistors to use one 6SN7 (which is also reversible) would save you money. That's why I suggested it.
And despite what I just read on the VTA forum by someone there who should know better, a 6SN7 is decidedly not just an octal 12AU7. The noval version of the 6SN7 is the 6CG7, not the 12AU7. The 6CG7 (and the octal 6SN7) is a far more linear tube than the 12AU7 on paper (see link below), and in many people's opinions, including mine, it sounds far better.
Note that a 6CG7 is NOT a direct plug in replacement for a 12AU7, as their pin-out is different, which is accomplished in the 6SN7 adapter.
Good luck with it, and I look forward to hearing your take on the 6SN7 board.
