The Sylvania 6sn7 and RCA 6080 is what I'm listening to at the moment. Easy combo to get used to for cheap. Maybe 15 bucks for both of them?

I am currently using the HD 300 as a preamp into my Stax srm717 amp and find the combo very good to my ears. Subtle, but definitely there. I have gone from a Sylvania 6AS7G grey plate power tube (lush and balanced) to the TS 5998 and find it adds some needed dynamic punch to the bass of the Omega 2 that I have...and still maintains the great electrostatic mids and PRAT. Am still rolling in a few 6SN7's to get a sound with more detail in the upper mids and treble...which tube to get a more bold and forward sound in the highs? |
