| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues @jea48 I wanted you to see the new installation. And I was wrong about conduit; code does not require it.https://ibb.co/tzhyY6BNo more transformer hum. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes That's a great find. I found a dealer selling a NOS pair for $500.Looking forward to your impressions. | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Yeah, I don't want to spend $250 on tubes I'm not familiar with. If I knew they were the holy grail I would go for it. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes shkong...According to my research the early Melz tubes have the 1578 lettering. There were two factories producing Russian tubes and the holy grail tubes have multiple holes on the plates.https://www.ebay.com/itm/133366164135 | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Thanks for posting your results. I’ll start by saying all systems are different. I agree with your results of the KR VT-231, RCA 231. Also the Sylvania VT-231; very good tube but bass is light and not extended.RCA vt231 is kind of all around playe... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes OP... is a tube with a side getter and the other tube with a bottom getter really a match?I've had RCAGTB's and side getter sounds different than bottom or top getter. | |
