A lot of folks have reported good results using the 6JH8 in place
of the 7360; with a few reporting better linearity. They appear
to be pretty much the same as far as performance. Have you tried
one?

Yes I have. The results were disappointing compared to the 7360. Perhaps
my values weren't optimised. Maybe I should try again - the 6JH8 is
/much/
cheaper!

Yeah, and I had a shot at a sleeve of them for 60 bucks several months
back Unfortunately, they aren't going to get any less expensive as
time passes.

There were a few other BD tubes as well.
The 6AR8 and 6ME8 are also listed in the RCA receiving tube
manuals along with the 6JH8. I don't know about current price
and supply on those.
