I had the EH "fatbottle" 6CA7 in Ella and preferred them to the stock Valve Arts. Better defined, more powerful bass and mid-range, not as forward on treble. I tried JJ's just before Ella left for Texas and found them kinda lifeless.
Really didn't like EH KT-88 in the ASL MG 15. Nasty treble, poor imaging.
Tubes are as subjective as cables, maybe more. I've found my cables. Hope you find your tubes.
