You can add the Japanese made RCA 6DJ8 (with Mullard production line) to the list of keeps the tonal balance of the stock 6N11 yet does everything better.
Listening on the tube out of course thru my 300 ohm Sennheiser HD540 headphones, Windows 7, foobar, no upsampling, GF ASIO driver. Audition music, classical guitar (more wood) and Brian Adams Unplugged - 18 Till I Die (wicked orchestration), bit more meat, both 44/16 CD rips in flac.
The stock tube does have a very dynamic midrange and exposes more detail.
Cheers,
Ian
