yes, its a lot of people who don't pay attention to what kind of tubes their using. before you change, rolling your tubes you should check. the 6sl7 volt higher than 6sn7, that why most poweramp used 6sl7 and 6sn7 for preamp,if you can try to roll tube with 5691 tube it subtitle for 6sl7 also last longer and sound warm and hamonic anyway sound better for sure. good luck
Please help Lak with a tube problem:-
I own a pare of Cary 2A3 monoblocks that came with JAN 6Sl7WGT (Philips ECG 34167) tubes. I replaced those tubes with NOS Sylvania 6SL7WGT tubes.
My JAN 6SL17WGT tubes sounded good and I could achieve the volume of 85 dB on the -1 setting of my preamp. With the NOS Sylvania 6SL7WGT tubes I have to use the setting of +4 to achieve the volume of 85 dB and the music sounds as if a vail is over the speakers.
HELP! What’s happenings? I thought I purchased the correct replacement tubes.
My system can be viewed on Audiogon, user name Lak.
Thanks for any assistance...
