| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Jyprez. Whom would you be referring to sir? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Abe. The 6v6 is a beam tetrode similiar to the 6F6 and will work as regulators in the supratek syrah, however, I doubt it will sound better than a 6l6, my experience with any of the metal tube types has always been a disappointment. The earl... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century hello Lisbon. The original 6f6 valves[power pentodes] date back to the early 1920's and were actually first produced in all metal form and looked similar to the early 6v6 metal valves that are so common in early guitar amps.Do "not" use these meta... | |

| Amp Recommendations for Acoustat 1+1s Hey G. Unless the guy is giving you the acoustat amp,forget about it. It will certainly drive the 1+1's and make some noise, but making music?....its just plain bad!He would have a tough time giving it away. Try a used Bryston 4b.....they are musi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Gang. A while back, I posted an alternative tube that can hold its own with the ultra expensive Western Electric 350B when employed as regulators in the supratek. I have been using a pair of 6F6g [ST bottle shape] from the 1930's in my Syrah... | |
