The 9 pin tubes came in at the same time as feedback in PP amps and so tended to be higher gain, like 20 or more. Not suitable for a low gain low Rp triode for a line stage. Same with the octals, except for 6P5GT with a gain of 14 like the 76. Plus 6AH4 and 1626. So there's just the pentodes/tetrodes in triode like the 6V6, 6F6, 6G6.
Early tubes are just fine with me. Some of the best ever made.
