Why 6H30 Tubes?


Curious why so many manufacturers have gone with the Russian 6H30 tubes in their designs?

It's a no-brainer really, and one has to get really creative to attempt to support any argument against this tube's suitability for high single stage pre-amp gain. High gain/low impedance, high reliability and low noise. We all know that some guys will find fault with anything but come-on! What's not to like. And to put the cherry on the top of this fine confection, unlike many of the typical Russian small signal tubes such as the ubiquitous 6922, it actually sounds pretty darn good instead of leaving us feeling like we were left outside in the soulless Siberian Winter with the typical Sovtek tube signature sound,- hard, cold, uninviting and analytical. Why 6H30 tubes? Because it is the right tool for the job and fortunately we just happened to find it lying in the bottom of our toolbox! DEVIN
