6L6 tube?

I don't have experience myself, but a friend of mine has been using 6L6's in his VAC PA160 mkII monos. He recently switched back to the 6L6's from el-34's and made the following observations:
"I put the 6L6's back in last night, and they are a much warmer and softer presentation, much more relaxed. But I miss the tightness of the 34's, and sharper edges on all the transients."
Hope this helps. Happy listening. Erik

yup it helps a ton, thanks

I had a tri-tube modded Mesa Baron for a while and tried all sorts of tubes. I ended up liking the Svetlana 6L6GC's best in that amp. I got better bass & midrange (IMO) from the Svet 6L6 than any EL34 or 5881 that I tried. And it was quite a few.

The sound you get, will ultimately be determined, by the circuit, the tubes, are placed in. The American 6L6's, were so good, ie; rugged, reliable, powerful, that Mullard had to invent, a tube, to compete(the EL34) The best, is generally considered, the TungSol 5881/6L6WGB. They can be had, for around $40 each. But GE, RCA, and Sylvania, made 6L6GC's, that sound very good also. They are not as powerful, as EL34's, so your speakers, could greatly affect the sonics, as far as efficiency. They tend to be sweeter, with richer mids.

BTW, ( by the way ) Has anyone heard of a tube called a 6N3C? I have hear is a repalcement for the 6L6.
