Eric Barbour in Vacuum Tube Valley tested a huge array of 6SN7 tubes and compared them to several other tube types, just to put the 6SN7 in context. These tubes were listed in increasing percentage of 2H distortion. I found it interesting to see that he found the best 76, 5687, 6CG7, 12SX7, and 396 (5670) as having lower distortion than the best 6SN7.

  Sorry about the link. It is an excellent article for those interested in the 6SN7. Personally I use the EC86, EC8010, 76, 5687 and the 6F8G in my amps. I used the 5670 in Eli Duttman's "El Cheapo" inspired amp. I gave all my 6SN7s to a friend a decade or more ago, since I thought millions were made, they will never be scarce. It turns out the best ones are scarce.
