I use the RCA clear tops or the Raytheon black plates or the sylvania black plates in all my Mac and Pilot tube amps..Now before you say how can I use them in the Macs,I converted the 12au7 inverter in the macs and the pilots to the 6cg7s and its a much better tube with lower distortion.They all sound fantastic with the three aforementioned tubes.
6CG7 for Cary SLP50A
I have a new - to me - Cary SLP50A preamp that takes a pair 6CG7 tubes. It came with, and is currently running a pair of NOS RCA Electrons of unknown age and origin. Any suggestions for a good replacement pair of the same type? I value a bit of detail and staging over tube warmth, although obviously the warmth is OK, otherwise I'd be using solid state :-).
Thanks!
Thanks!
