6L6 tube?

I have never listened to this tube in equipment, but I'm curious. I have experince with kt88, 6550, and el34. Can anyone tell what the 6l6 sounds like compared to these? Bass, mids, etc. Also what brand would you suggest buying ( preferably under $40 each ) in both nos, and current tubes?

thanks in advance.....

Never mind I figured it out myself. The 6NC3 is a Russian tube that can be used as a 6L6. Except the " N " is actually a letter/symbol in the Russian language that we don't have on our keybaord.

In case anyone has bothered to read this thread. Now you know.......

Kt 88, are you going to try those Russian valves (6NC3)? If so, I'd love to hear your findings. I run kt-88's most of the time, sometimes el-34's, but I'm interested in trying the 6l6 or variants there of.
