Hi Howie13 and UT,
 
I do have a pair of Sylvania 6AS7G tubes that look identical to Howie's except mine say YCE on them. There is no marking that says 6AS7 on them. I always thought that they were rebranded RCA tubes - they sure look like it.
 
They sound OK but too soft and slow in the bass region - I miss my RCA 6080s.
 

 
 
At least they are not Russian Svetlanas with Sylvania logos....
 
Here I have provided a picture of my RCA 6AS7G tubes - cannot find any difference between these two sets.
 

 
This pair has the distinction of being the only pair I have of the 6AS7 type with their original boxes. What happens to all the old boxes from the large tubes?

How about these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361220438372?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ?

Well, @Oskari...clarity and faith restored big time! - the other eagerly awaited Valvo EL11 does have the mesh plate...

...and a loose base, so no risk in trying to remove - miraculous!
 
And so now I have two matching Valvos and the one remaining Australian EL3NG...am happy once more...(will be even happier when I can finally see just how two of them perform LOL!).
 
So...a before and after shot :
 

 
And also...just as a WARNING to newcomers on how this hobby can turn you insane - after promising to call a halt to tube hunting/experimenting, I can't even stop here, lol. The search for those elusive mesh-plated EL11s has got me intrigued by the Teslas below...could well be a wild goose chase, but the bug is taking yet another giant chunk out of me...(are you listening @UntilThen?!!

...).
 

 
Is there any hope left for poor ol' me?...think not!!!...CHEERS and goodnight!!

Not much.

Conner does not let you forget the walks. I have to leave his leash out on the deck, otherwise he would drag it around the house to let me know, it is always time for a walk

Can you show a photo of the beast, CF?

When you remove the base and fit new gold plated ones, you're too far gone.... 

 
 
Joking... we're looking forward to what you will discover with those Valvo and Teslas.

You're asking for trouble. It's a Lion !!!

 

[pctazhp]

Not much.

@hypnos1 is an evil man who took over my mush mind and turned me into a person my mother never intended.

Yo, UT! How's Finn the microbeast?

And how's Oscar the dog? Fervent

 

[UntilThen]

Finn's a mini Lion.

 

[Oskari]

Finn's a mini Lion.

Awwww. Looking very serious there.

This is Conner's "I am still waiting look"

Lilly also thinks I should spend more time walking her and less time listening to music.
I should get a decent set of IEMs so I can do both at once. 

 

[connieflyer]

Are the IEM's for her?  She has a nice smile!  When Conner hears music he likes he will come and lay down and listen.  If it is some thing he does not like, he will walk over and lay down in the bathroom, away from the music,

No time to walk your dog?
