Has anyone heard both ? Comments and comparisons ? I am referring to the Bendix Red Bank 6900 vs. the standard MU 6900. Thanks for reading !

I've heard both, as well as a number of Bendix matched pairs (part of an obscure testing exercise I became involved in).  My sense is that you'll hear a much bigger difference as regards transconductance and matched sections vs. a given manufacturer.  I was striving for very accurate - analytical, if you prefer - sounding tubes and preferred the coolest biasing tubes with highest transconductance.
