TUBE NOOB: WHAT BRAND

I am looking for a really unusual tube. In one of my previous posts I had a couple of audiogon members point out a few good sites and I was able to locate some for sale. My initial problem was not finding any, now I have too many to chose from.

The tube: 6CL8A/6CL8

Brands available: RCA, GE, Sylvania, Tung Sol..etc.. quite a few.

I know nothing about this other than I want the best one possible. I would like one that minimizes microphonics and that sounds like tube heaven, help me out. Thanks a million guys.

What you will get by asking which is the "best one possible" is what other people like.Only you can decide which is the "best one possible" for you.Try out a few of the ones you listed and find out for yourself what you like.

Dfelkai,may I ask what was wrong with my post.I made a statement and a suggestion.Neither was made to belittle you or marginalize your question.I believe I made valid points on both statements.In case you misunderstood my intensions I will try again.First,the term you used "I want the best one possible" is wide open to debate from everyone who uses those tubes,each person will think their favorite is "the best one possible".Second,you listed some brands and I sugguested you try some out to see if you like them or not.If this is "handwaving" I guess I'm guilty.

What was rude and insulting about either of my posts?
