So what's wrong with the 6SN7, apart from the high prices fetched by good ones?  If building a 2A3 amp for personal use, it seems a likely choice.  I do not know the 6E5P, but I do love the tone of the 6SN7, and I especially like it driving a 2A3, not that I have any use for a 2A3 these days.


I have a pair of amps that utilize this combination of 6sn7 into 2a3.  My impression of it has always been that it is good enough at allowing one to connect to the Sound, but in terms of sounds it is a little lacking.  It seems to hide details and make everything a bit strained.  I have always felt this is a case of two great things that do not go so great together, unlike Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
