A new addition to the family tonight (not the darkvoice :P)

Yep, it's labeled Miniwatt Made In Australia 6SN7 GTA UG. For a company to make tubes in Australia one would expect their quality to be high because they wouldn't be being made on mass. Very small market here. Plus Australian quality standards are very high. I look forward to comparing it to...

Haven't tried the Baldwin yet. The Sylvanias have been the best performers so far, but believe it or not the Australian made Minniwatt has been the most impressive one yet! *cue Australian pride*. It has a great representation of all frequencies, better than all others I've tried, and pips the...

Thanks Shaffer. I actually have some tubes on hand, but didn't post them first as I didn't want to bias people's responses towards the tubes I already have. Anyway, these are what I already have, hopefully some are close to the CBS you suggested:   http://i.imgur.com/5r6FB6u.jpg...

Might take you up on it. I'll keep experimenting with the tubes i have and the one on the way and see what results I get...thanks.

The current sound I get from my DarkVoice with an RCA tube in the preamp (unknown make/model) and a Tung-Sol 6AS7G in the power amp is a thin soundstage with mediocre bass response and definition. Primarily I'm looking for a stronger bass response/tight low end representation. I'd hope for a...

Legend. Thank you for the advice. Are there any ebay links you could send my way to get me started?

Hello all, I'll weigh in with my setup. I'm running Archlinux with MPD as my server and NCMCPP as my client. All music stored on a NAS in FLAC format. Digital out to my Beresford Bushmaster Mk I DAC and Headphones amp to my Beyer DT 880s. Audio on Linux is pretty simple, not much to experiment with!

I'll let you know how it goes :)   Being new to tubes, I know nothing of the nature their faults. If the RCA 6AS7G is defective, is it done and dusted for good?   Interesting - I just read through your profile - we're very alike :P I work in IT, have interests in music and photography...

  Thank you, this is really valuable information. Weird, the listing title says 6AS7G. To an amateur like me that's an easy mistake to make! I bought this tube, it should work...

Here's the eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221872152355?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT   When experimenting, I've found the power amp tube has the greatest impact on sound. I'm seeking a tube with good bass representation, and maybe a warm tone. I had hoped...

What factor does price have on the analysis? Amazon isn't a trust worthy source? I haven't found any other source for information on the amp.

I have the Darkvoice 336 amp and I'm looking to buy some new tubes for it. The tube type is a 6AS7G and the site says "Only buy if your amp or preamp can handle the 5 amp filament". How do I know if this amp is able to handle a 5 amp filament? Thanks!

This was more about understanding the capability of the amp as per the technical specs listed on amazon. Is it possible to know if an amp can handle a certain tube just from those specs?
