Darkvoice 336 + 336i Tuberolling [ tubes ] - Page 99

post #1471 of 1476

a new set: NU 6SN7 GT (with a chipped base) + GE 6080 (not a 5-star and a bit cosmetic-challenged).

remember the mystery black glass RCA? (see above and previous page for pictures). i see two things differernt: this NU has a clear bottom (no chrome coating); the top plate is round. does this mean the mystery black glass RCA is not from NU but Ken-Rad?

 

hummed about two hours. quiet now. :)

hi everyone, just bought the la figaro 336c.  I'm really excited to receive it soon.  So I'm new to this tube rolling thing and I will be spending time to read this thread and figure it out.  This 99 page thing is really daunting haha.  Anyways, are there any MUST get tubes, sorta like the standard typical good upgrade.

 

If this helps, I like listening to electronic music and rock from 5-10 years ago and I will be using a dt880 250 ohm 2005 version.

 

Any recommendations for the price ranges of

 

<30 dollars

30-50 dollars

50-70 dollars

 

for both tubes?

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

 

edit: oh just noticed the part 2 thread.. even more reading to be done :) it has a nice first post

Did the fitz mod on my Darkvoice 336SE - 220 uF output caps - to fit my HE-400. It is a dream come true ! o2smile.gif

For me, the Shuguang 6N13P sounds best and beats the best 6AS7 and 6080 from US and russian origin (did not expect that). Well, the HE-400 is dark, so I guess the NOS bp 6AS7 is kind of an overkill, leading to a dull presentation. The Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z is unbelievable nice sounding. Beats every NOS 6SN7 from US and russian origin. For my ears only ?! wink.gif

reading the first 15 or so pages from this thread made me pull the trigger on two 6AS7s; a grayplate Sylvania 6AS7G and a RCA 6080.

I'm searching for 6SN7(s) as I'm typing this post.

 

and I haven't even owned the amp. tongue.gif

Personally - my favourite is also the Shuguang treasure cv181 for my DV336se. Not too expensive and sounds magical. ...I have a Jadis cv181, too. I can tell you, it's also sounds great...

 

But I never tried that 6n13p yet.... hm... rolleyes.gif I have only tungsol 5998,7236 and rca 6as7 tubes. Unfortunately I never  tried the legendary A1834 gec either.. Did you compared this Shu 6n13p to these or some of these?

post #1476 of 1476
I dont use the shu 6n13p any longer. At the moment, the Sylvania 6AS7G is my favorite. Havent tried the tubes you mentioned, still a lot to tube roll ...
