Here's some good information about the 6SN7 tube.

An excellent tube without a huge price is the GE 6SN7GTB short bottle side getter or the GTA version for a few more dollars.

The tall bottle Sylvania 6Sn7GTB is a better sounding tube than the short (standard) bottle version. Not quite as good as the more expensive "bad boy" Sylvanias, but very close.
