Mikhail recently asked me to bring my THA-336i in to his shop to try out some new output tubes that he got. We listened to tung sol 5998s and that is a decent tube but the bendix 6080wb is an amazing tube! They are built like a tank. Even Mikhail thought the Darkvoice sounded pretty good with the bendix as the output and a sylvania 6sn7w for input. With the other output tubes he said the sound was 'mushy'. If you can find one, I highly recommend the bendix 6080wb.

Happy Tube Rolling!
