I've never seen the schematic for the 6SN7 version, so I can't give you any information on it. The VTA site says of the 6SN7 board, "Same exact size, parts layout, and hookup connections as the boards above.", with "above" being their 12AU7 version. But parts layout doesn't necessarily mean the same value parts, although a quick visual inspection of the two photos showed many of the color bands on the resistors were the same.
As I was watching the hockey game I started to wonder how different brands of 12AU7s can sound different in that version of the amp, yet the 12AU7 and 6SN7, two obviously different tubes, would sound "no better". Giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he meant different, but no better, but I'm obviously speculating.
Also keep in mind that the AK comment was second-hand information.
