"They have solid reasons for using the more common tubes."
Well, everybody in commercial Hi-Fi tube world needs 12AU7, for example. We don`t. We`ll use, say 5687 or ECC99, or maybe E182CC, 6463, etc. Why? Good NOS 12AU7/ECC82 is harder and harder to find, price is higher and higher, and "good" 12AU7 is an oxymoron, anyway. IME - not in the same "league" like the tubes I mentioned (less linear).
Allright, if we`d use 300B (I hope so!), nobody can stop someone to use WE... or if we`d use 6S45P as a driver, someone can try expensive and hard-to-find similar "western" versions, like 437A and EC8020, haha... Just some winter evening blablah:-)
