Quote: I greatly appreciate it.  I have several sources to buy 6F8G, but since they're not very popular tubes I get nothing from the vendors in way of description prior to purchase. 

Quote:   Behaviorally they're identical to the 6SN7 -- looking at the specs between a 6EW7 and a 6SN7 the only real differences (outside of the socket) were gain.  IIRC the 6EW7/6DE7 have a Mu of around ~17.4 (someone correct my values if I'm wrong), whereas the 6SN7 has a Mu of 20. ...

Quote: Right now I've got mis-matched 6F8G valves in there -- ordered 2 pair from someone and ended up with 4 different ones.  The one closest is a Tung Sol made for the US Army Signal Corps (with the round plates and horseshoe getters) -- the one further away is an RCA that appears to be...

I finally got around to taking some night shots of my Woo 6.  Currently it's running with 6F8G (thanks Glenn!) and 5U4G.     ( link to big : http://tinyurl.com/2dxdcav )

When I got mine they were still using the jumper pin method of setting up the tubes and amplification -- if they're DIP switches now you may want to give them a good back-and-forth action.  They may look set, but with the transport they may have moved just enough to be between settings.  If it's...

I've gone through a few different tube amps in the office, and after a few weeks the interest died down and I get very few comments now. I started with a LD MKIII, but since then upgraded to a WA6 (along with a cheap Technics SL-5 to run vinyl with). It does take up a bit of desk space -- but...

Gas - Microscopic Woob - Woob SETI - Pharos ...although it's pretty hard to select *only* three albums.

Quote: Originally Posted by nolla Oh, I found the store alright, I just didn't figure I should also check the actual item pics! You were right, there are 6H6N printed on the tubes. 8 pieces is a bit too many for me though. I'll probably wait and/or PM them about it. So these re the...
