I'm waiting for 2 EH6CA7's to arrive and try out in my DSL50. I will post up after I take them for a spin early next week.

Great experiment Marty! Thanks for doing it.
I do want to elaborate on the test. I want to make it clear that the sonic changes were not immense by any means. They were very subtle. I was in a very quiet room and it was perfect for this sort of test. I was able to hear a difference when I swapped the two different power tubes around. It was very slight, but it was there. Some people may not be able to hear this. It is a matter of how trained your ear is.

My main point regarding this test is that there was a noticeable difference in the way the amp sounded with a 6CA7 and an EL34 versus two EL34's.
