so what about the 6SN7A, 13D2, CV1986, CV1988, CV3627, and 6N8S ? there might be more, but that's what I have offhand.

also, maybe the 5692 under the tube types should be in bold like the others.

Adhoc,

Great post. Just wish you had posted earlier. Great contribution. Thanks.

Wow, what a post! Singlepower owners must be happy to see this!

Of course, those of us who own the Raptor won't benefit but surely someone will step up to the plate and do something similar for us?? C'mon...don't be shy.

Has anyone tried these 6SN7s. In talking with Kevin today, I broke down and ordered a pair.

Kevin must have scored those on one of his tube hunting trips to Europe. What did he say about them compared to other tubes?

I did get to see his humongous custom tube tester at his place, and I doubt any other tube sellers have anything close to test tubes.

SHVentus · 05-15-2005, 03:15 AM

Are they in Kevin's private stash, or are they available to the open public?

adhoc · 05-15-2005, 03:51 AM

oops.

the popes ARE available to the general public. sorry all for the confusion - my bad.

but.. $135 for a SINGLE 'platinum grade' [ie extremely closely matched triodes] pope 6sn7?! mein gott!! this had better be good.

are we talking about the Pope 6SN7GT? it isn't in his secret stash section so should be available to everyone, although you have to pay more if you don't have something from him that uses the tube.
