Favorite cathode follower tube?
Since it seems like it's been a couple years since this topic was really touched and tube production may have changed up a tad, what's everybody's favorite tube for the CF position? Are Tung-Sol RIs still dying horrible deaths in the CF position?

For CP I tend to use JJ ecc803s in pi and cathode follower. It's the only jj tube I ever recommend with the exception of their 6v6s. All others I have tried have been repeatedly naff.
So I like purple, okay!!!!!!
