It is obvious that 6SN7-2A3 and 6E6P direct have very different character. The 2A3 it feels like heavy-sunk time of tube and it constantly run a fully submerged. It has seriousness but it does not look at this point that it has lightness.
I also use the 6SN7-2A3 DHT for my system (except subwoofer). Did you use the Electrocubes for the coupling capacitors? Was the internal wiring regular copper?

The coupling capacitor is critical, of course.

Also, I will say that silver wire, which many people hate: the fact is that it is a better conductor. My opinion is that the silver wire reveals a problem that is creating harshness and brightness from the OTHER parts of the system, perhaps from bad electricity as well.

In my amplifier, careful choice of the coupling capacitor and using silver wire in the signal path corrected the problem of the sound being syrupy like in a dream where you are running is low motion.
