I have Dennis Had ( former owner Cary Audio) Inspire audio amplifier he built me a few years back. Features 6JM6 Compactron tubes. Picture at link

love this little amp and actually prefer the sound over my other Dennis Had Inspire amp using EL-84 tubes,
A bit unnerving buying a new amplifier that uses tubes that are no longer made but the whole demand supply thing is in my favor. I don't guess a lot of people have TV's around still using these tubes so as of now easy to find and cheep. Just this week I won a few NOS 6JM6 tubes for UNDER 3.00 a tube so I can by enough stock to outlast my amp.
I love the look of the wire connected to the top of the tube and I love the sound. I was told I should get 10 years out of a set of tubes.
