looking for tube recommedations for Cary SLI-80

hi,

I have Klipsch speakers and the horns can be pretty bright, so I looking to tame the high end a little realitive to the the mids. I do not need a solid state sound, too bright with the horns. Sounds like the RCA's 6SN7's may fit the bill. I will not buy EBay, am looking at Upscale Audio or Vacuum Tube Valley for tubes.

Thanks,

Larry

hi,

Thanks for your responses.

John, I am planning on replacing the rectifiers, I was thinking of NOS RCA or Sylvania 5U4GT's from the 40's or 50's, but I'll start looking at the 5AR4's also. What other rectifiers have you tried ? Do you have any opinion about the above named 5U4's ?

Cruz123 at the moment I too am using the EH KT88's , a real nice tube. I also want to get a quad of EL34's just to see how they sound in the triode mode.

Audiophelia the 6SN7's real short list is the Sylvania or Rayethon NOS tubes I've been reading about on vintage tube services web site and Upscale Audio.

The 6992 choice is coming to NOS Amperex or Telefunkin not sure which.

regards,

Larry

hi,

I decieded to use a used old stock RCA from the 40's as a rectifier after talking to Andy at vintage tube services. A pair which tested good cost 36 dollars.
