i started using RCA 6AS7G on WA2 and they sound great, lot better than the stock GE 6080WC.
 
Jst one problem..it happened two times so far, once in left channel and once in right; Its a momentary noise peak that makes pop/jerk sound.
 
It comes thru at high volume and i'm beginning to think if it happens often it would affect my hearing. 
 
Is this supposed to happen with these tubes? i did not have this issue with the 6080WC

Not normal. You might want to try turning the amp on and not listening for 20 mins until it has warmed up fully.

The RCA's are not expensive, might also try a different pair.

There is also a 6AS7GA tube at parts express that can be bought new inexpensively and these preform well:

  Can anyone confirm these are legit GEC 6AS7G tubes



 
Something about the first picture just looks off.
Can anyone angle their GEC to make it look like that in the first pic?

Hi...they're just fine - that's exactly how they look from that angle....a beautiful looking pair. Are they tested, and OK? GOOD LUCK!

Hi guys :) I'm looking into a Mullard CV 2964 6080 and I found two actually.
One displays a 1975 over the original box and the other a AJ1 R1F1 code on the glass.
The construction is the same.
 
What means the data code of the second one?

AJ1 (6080 First version revision). R1F1 is Mitcham plant (R), 197(1), JUN (F) 1st Week.  S
ee section 2 The Code  http://frank.pocnet.net/other/Philips/PhilipsCodeListAB-v8.pdf
 
The 1975 is probably the date when the tube was on stock at your dealer...
