I haven't tried the Pope 6V6GT with an 80 rectifier but will. Didn't know an 80 was even a possibility in the amp.  |
My favorite by far is the Bendix 6106, an indirectly heated 5y3. From dealers they can be a little pricey but on Ebay they can be found more reasonable. I do recall it taking a white to settle in but afterword the Popes and later Visseauxs became some of my favorites. Though I expect my 6106 to last forever I got a spare just in case I live forever.
BTW an 80 would require an adapter.
