high transconductance octals/loctals?


I made an EF86 (triode connected) linestage for a friend - it initially had a White Cathode follower using a 6CG7. Well, he had a big stock of 6DJ8s and I eventually switched the WCF to use 'em. I really liked the sound over the 6CG7... the 6DJ8s had plenty of snap and a great big and suprisingly sweet sound.

my search for high-transconductance big-bulb tubes has turned up not much at all unless I go with the over-kill 6BX7 or 6BL7... I know high-trans tubes were from the 50s/60s - are there any loctal or octal versions that I'm missing that aren't such filament hogs?

thanks all,
