I just bought a very strong testing Mullard o-getter 6DJ8 (labeled for Knight). I will use it first with my black-plate RCA 6AS7GA.

Hopefully it will live up to its reputation.

Good problem solving skills!

Also try the BEL ECC88 gold pin...a bit more dynamic than the Mullard and better frequency extremes. I have them and Kevin Deal has them (I sold him a bunch).

  Well, the Mullard is definitely not warm and cuddly as I have been led to believe. It sounds completely transparent in my circuit.

    I am getting a good balanced sound from the Mullard. But I wonder if there is an affordable 6AS7/6080 that is warmer and smoother than my RCA Black Plate, but still transparent?

      RCA 6922 with gold pins is an early Siemens and the best sounding 6DJ8 I ever used.
