Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30
I believe 450v/DC is correct: 6P3S, 6P3S-E 6n3ceMy Primaluna Dialogue 1 is auto-bias, makes it a snap to roll tubes.(6n3C, 6n3C-E)GeneralTetrode, used in output stages of low frequency amplifiers.Envelope: glass, with octal base.Mass 70 g. General... 
Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30
Johnbonn, the Amperex 12au7 Bugle Boy and Sylvania 1957 NOS Sylvania black plate 3 mica in combo with the 6n3c-e magically transformed my Primaluna Dialogue 1. Big, open killer midrange, tighter, more tuneful bass, the top end is sweet, yet airy, ... 
Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's?
RM10, match made in heaven. Buy one used. Some previous comments on this set-up on the A'gon. I had this set-up back around 1996? Used a CJ PV10A Preamp. 
Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30
Johnbonn, I just looked up the Cayin TA 30 to refresh my memory, and yes, it does accept the 6L6 tube among others, so, I'm now positive the 6n3ce should be a direct substitute, but please double-check per my references. By-the-way, the Cayin TA 3... 
Leben CS600 or ARC VSi60 with Harbeth Compact 7's
In the past I owned a vsi60 but never listened to them with Harbeth. On the other hand my brother owns the Harbeth HL5 and CS600 and it is a heavenly combo, extremely musical, one of those great synergies. Go to Jeff Days blog at: jeffsplace.me/wo...

Johnbonn, I should have stated the 6n3ce is a direct replacement for almost all 6L6, EL34s, 5881s, etc. 
Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30
Johnbonn, for many amplifiers the 6n3ce is a direct replacement. I'm not sure about your amp. Please let me refer you to Jeff Days blog, jeffsplace.me/wordpress/ he writes for Positive Feedback and 6 Moons as well as others. I was originally turne... 
Rogers LS3/5a question
I also owned these speakers and had them in my office driven by NAD 3020, fun, and the midrange was excellent. Mostly played Jazz, small scale classical and folk. Fond memories. 
jolida fx10
Agree with Mapman, read my comments in thread above. 
Jolida Fx10
I recently sold my Jolida FX10 here on the A'gon. I recommend them highly. I used them in a 14x16 home office with stellar results. Never a problem and to get best results one should use high efficiency speakers (mine were generally Tekton 4.5s an...

Here is my advice: John Bonn is right on, use Amperex Bugle Boys 12au7, Sylvania 5751 3 mica with the 6n3c-e also known as 6p3s-e, you won't be sorry and never look back. 
Affordable 300b Replacements
I used the JJs with great success. No longer own that unit. Sounded best with Black Treasure 300Bs though. 
EL34 upgrade
Thanks for your recommendations and links. I will investigate further. I don't need all that much power since I have efficient speakers, Tekton Lore and 4.5s as well as Infinity Prelude Compostions, and Sound Dynamics 300 ti (least efficient of th... 
EL34 upgrade
How much for the jwn amps? I read the referenced article, if true, what Osher stated, type of sound I would enjoy methinks. 
EL34 upgrade
Metman,I understand these tubes are beginning to get scarce...so, I wouldn't delay too long. I think I have to buy a few more sets myself since I like them in my Cary and Primaluna better than the EL34s, KT88s. I know I am going to get a Leben ver...
