@rodman99999 My statement should have been that the Sylvania 6SN7 do no re-produce bass very well. They are fantastic at almost Everything elseI think you understood what I meant. Take techno music for example . Most of it has a lot a Bass. I also... 
Small or big tubes/valves for pre amp ?
@rodman99999 My whole point is ,The Sylvanias don’t have near the bass of the Ken Rads or Tung Sol 6SN7. Also Andy with Vintage Tube Services confirmed this for me . He actually told me that any of the Sylvania 6SN7s do not do Bass well .I agree w...

Any 6F8G with 6SN7 adapters beats all 6SN7s IMO.I personally like 12volt  tubes like 12AX7,12AU7,12AT7,12BH7...etc. better than 6SN7 . Like Lowrider said ,many of the  6SN7s that have good balance and Bass are microphonic.. like Ken Rad or Tung...

A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio

A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
Because those two are only a hair worse then the Benchmark DAC3 So many people mess this up for some reason ...  ThanThan is a conjunction used in comparisons:Tom is smarter than Bill.It’s warmer in Florida than in North Dakota.Is she taller...
