| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @markusthenaimnut obsession what obsession 😳. Don’t miss out on 7n7 with an adapter 🤪 @shkong78 got it and respect your decision to have us discover 6f8g’s on our own. Cheers! @dlcockrum ‘56/53 Melz arrived today. Both tested closely matched a... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @shkong78 I really appreciate your thread. It has been so helpful in identifying tubes I may not have known about like the 6fg8’s. Can you share which 6fg8’s you like. I have 2- the NU round plates and Rca early 40’s gray glass us navy tubes. ... | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @dlcockrum thanks for the detailed Melz summary of your experience. I got lucky andc ordered 2 used Melz with test results in 90%’s. 1-1956 and 1-1953 due to arrive on Tues from Ukraine. They are the non hole version and the picture shows black... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @dlcockrum my 6f8g adapters arrived and I was able to listen to my NU 6f8g branded Raytheon round plates. All I can say is they really are special in my Supratek pre. They are just better in almost every way. Definitely the best tube I have heard... | |
| Tube Rollers! Which has more impact to your sound- Rectifier or Power (and why)? @designsfx yes I have ordered from a few ebay sources and all went well with the exception of one unusual seller behavior. It takes a good 3 weeks to get delivery. Also, testing, used quality and pictures matching can be a risk but I have had go... | |
| Tube Rollers! Which has more impact to your sound- Rectifier or Power (and why)? In my experience both to a similar degree but in slightly different ways!!! I have recently been rolling tubes in my Supratek preamp. It takes 1 rectifier in the power supply and 2-6l6 output and 2-6sn7 input/driver. Changing my rectifiers I notic... | |
| Review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Tube Amp and Corvus Reference Monitors Nice review and thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Always fun to hear others journeys. I have had a Raven Blackhawk for 2 years and it is now being used as a second amp on my Home Theatre system. The raven amp is a winnerand... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? My Lab 12 Reference DAC just went up several levels today! I just received 2 pairs of Voskhod 6N23P’s Single Wire with a mix of silver and gray shields today from the ebay link I provided earlier. One pair is 1975 and one is 1972. All tested goo... | |
| Full range stand mounted speakers Have you looked into the new GE T66. Sock removed and replaced with hard services. Not sure what is used for the side radiator covers. | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? @scm Good luck with it and keep us posted on your,results. I bought 2 pairs of the tubes in the link I sent in a prior post still in route. We’ll see what I get🤞. I do like the ones I bought with ‘80’s date codes as well. | |
| One key to building great systems over time. I am 3 years new to this hobby after 25 years with different life priorities. What I have learned is that others know better than me and I need to learn from them. My advice would be to: 1- Have clear idea what you want to accomplish within you ... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @dlcockrum thanks…that Phillips 5R4GYS is next to impossible to find and big💰. Not sure my modest system is worth it and would benefit much from it. I will keep it in mind though. Have you tried other 6F8G’s? Other good ones in case I want to h... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Another can of worms? Anyone try mixing different styles of 6Sn7’s with success. I had a Raytheon vt231 T-plate that lost it’s partner due to bad noise. On a whim I had just received one of my Ken Rad vt231 black glass and wanted ti try it out t... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals @lcherepkai 👍👍 agree…for me it was a poorly wired outlet with old crumbling insulation which started to smell, turn brown and popped a breaker. Wires/cords are most often the problem and should be inspected regularly. |
