Interesting.
I had the 600 with Devore O/93s. After running various EL34s, GL KT77, KT90, 5881, and the Russian equivalents Jeff Day popularized, I eventually settled on GL KT66, which I found to be the most balanced.
I'm usually not one to put much weight on the notion that cables can transform a system, but: which cables are you using? I find that the apes like being fed with A23 wire.
All that said: the Leben is not a "tubey" amp and in my experience no amount of tube rolling changed that. (Nor experiments with footers, dampers, and incantations.) If your streamer follows the traditional Linn house sound, then it majors on fast and "clean"; I've also found the Feikerts I have (briefly) heard to be somewhat in that direction. Probably not what you want to hear, but them's my 2 cents.
