I agree that the G6 had the best looking colour. I never could work out why - as you say all the other hybrids used CDA drive. Also the PCF200s were pretty ordinary and the PFL200 was nowhere near as good a valve as the PL802 (quiet B&O with your American luminance valve!) but still a well-set up G6 with a good tube would run rings round the others. Perhaps its the visual equivalent of that 'valve sound'?
