CAJames replied to the thread The Reference 6J5 Thread (L63, 6C5, 12J5, 6P5, etc.).Has anyone seen an actual 2C22? I have not. I have a lot of old tube manuals and the only reference I see to them is from Sylvania...

@CAJames How do the 7193’s compare to the 6J5’s? They show as being a “VHF Triode” based on the 6J5- does it just boil down to... -
CAJames replied to the thread The Reference 6J5 Thread (L63, 6C5, 12J5, 6P5, etc.).For me the big difference is they cost a lot less. :L3000: The Ken-Rads and GECs sound a lot like the 6J5GT/L63 versions. I have...

CAJames replied to the thread The Reference 6J5 Thread (L63, 6C5, 12J5, 6P5, etc.).I'm not sure what tube your DAC uses natively. If you want to use 7193 in place of a 6J5 than you need a 7193 -> 6J5 adapter. You can...

Worry not about the poor electrons. They get excited when hot. -

I do. Or did. Early on in my Twin rolling adventure, I noticed my fav 6J5Gs (at that time) had round (Sylvi/Visseaux) or oval... -

A few years ago, I was thinking of getting a mutual conductance tester and researched into it for 10s of hours. In the end, I gave up... -
CAJames replied to the thread The Reference 6J5 Thread (L63, 6C5, 12J5, 6P5, etc.).Certainly no tube tester will tell you how a tube sounds. For me, the big thing is if you are paying for "new" and the tube tests weak...

Absolutely not true! A good tube tester will tell you many things about a tube. Part of the hobby for me is learning about tubes, and... -
CAJames replied to the thread The Reference 6J5 Thread (L63, 6C5, 12J5, 6P5, etc.).All true but testers like your Amplitrex are the exception, and I think by a wide margin. I would say most testers are in fact designed...
