If your not aware the 6aq5 is pretty much a 6v6 in a small bottle 7 pin package. They can be had NOS for under $10 a pop at a few places. So far I've built a couple 5e3's, a 15 watt SL, and a 30 watt SL with these. IMO these things sound great and can put up with 325 plate volts for at least a year plus with no wear.
This amp currently has an Edcor PT with Classic tone 50W JMP OP and choke. Waiting for a Heyboer 784-139 to be dropped off by Phil. This is the same OP trans all the super cool, boutique cloners use. Maybe I'll be cool now?
