had good luck myself with sylvania c1944 vt-231s--crisp, clear, musical without harshness. best inputs were siemens cca, fwiw.
SLI-80 which 6SN7?
Sorry to start yet another SLI-80 thread, but I found no thread that covered my specific question.
I'm interested to know from Cary owners ( as well as 6SN7 lovers ) which 6SN7 is the best. I hear good things about the Sylvania, but there are many versions of this company. Including chrome dome, and brown base that I hear talk about. Also I see that Tung-Sol, GE, Raytheon, RCA are readily available. Also since these tubes are " one for each channel " do they need to be perfectly matched?
I'm also curious to know how much of a improvement the " signature " version adds to this amp. And how many versions are there?
thanks in advance!
