You got it for free why not try it you can tell it is new or has low hours on it by the lack of black spots above the cathodes/filaments.
Silvertone was Sears brand. Sears TVs were Silvertone who made it? Might sound OK especially if made by Sylvania.
Clean it up and use it.

You are right - Sears and not Radio Shack (which used the Realistic name) - sorry for the error.

Interesting that I have to wait about 30 minutes before the tube plays at its best.

Ive noticed that this combo takes up to an hour before it really starts to sound great. I do find that the bass can be a bit unruly on the Verite on some songs,so tonight I will try the 5998s and see how that goes.

Any Glenn owners using a tube DAC in their system? Thoughts? Too much of a good thing,or great,or somewhere in between?

I have one. It's a very nice tube, often described as lush, sweet and euphonic, but a pair is certainly not worth that price. lol

The Brimar 13D1 is the same tube for under $20 if your amp can take a 25SN7. The 25.2 volt filament makes it not worth much
because almost no amps can use it.
The Brimar 6SN7 is a 13D2 look that one up for cost.

Tube DACs and tube preamp here. You can plug and play with good new production tubes like Gold Lions, and leave it at that, or you could follow me down the rabbit hole... Purchased the Lampizator Euforia DAC for $1100, and the DSD engine sounds as good as DACs costing a lot more. The reason why it's so "cheap" is because it only accepts a DSD signal, so you need to use something like Roon or JRiver. Very easy to configure though.

I will keep an eye on it. Never know that b4. I have one of that crazy priced tube, however, I need a pair for my amp.

I won't buy at that price, even if someone puts a gun to my head. NO.

Have you tried to use one CV 1988 and one ECC 33 on your amp? You should give it a try. That will make your new headphone sounds more lush, organic, romantic, and euphoric than using pairs. LOL

























JK Don't do that.

They do sound very similar, and in fact, to my ears, the 13D1 sounds a bit better. Depending on the system, I often find the bass of the Brimar 6SN7GTY to be a little too thick and heavy.

The GEC L63 is 1/2 of a GEC B65 for less cost. But the GEC B36 is probably cheaper.

How about these GEC tubes - $50/pair shipped (or best offer):
