Yup, the triodes in a 6EU7 and a 12AX7 are equivalent.Notice the piezoelectric phono cart. and tone control circuitry. The mu 100 triode was needed to deal with that. If a CDP is the source and tone controls are not used, mu 100 is too much.
BTW, the bad sound some people hear in an amp with loop NFB is at least partially due to slew limiting caused by a large HF error correction signal. A high gm triode is protection against slew limiting. The 'X7 triode is LOW gm. :~(
