Better than being tuned for Nickleback!

As long as it's not tuned for Taylor Swift or you'll want your money back !

For those that have multiple brands of 6BX7s,which would you say has:
The best mids
Snappiest/punchiest sound

Go!

Here with Pink Floyd 'The Wall' and GOTL had GEC B36 with a pair of NOS Tung Sol 5998 straight from the military warehouse of the US forces in Saigon when they withdraw. This is the setup where I declared, 'IT CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS' !!!

Speaking of Floyd,im currently listening to the Final Cut In The Wall,which is a great bootleg unofficial release. The VC is killing it.

I'm looking for 3 more Fivre 6bx7gt because I have only 3 now. So if you have 3 minty looking Fivres do sell it to me and save mankind.

I like the Fivre, Toshiba, and the side-getter RCA. Not sure about punchiest, Toshiba have the most air/space, mids would be between Fivre and RCA for me...maybe I'll give em a listen today, see who has the punch.

I have a bunch of GEs that came from wazzupi, but I actually haven't listened to them yet, mostly because I know some of them are bad and I just haven't gotten around to troubleshooting a set. I also have Tung-Sol and two different types of Sylvania 6BL7s, T-plate and flat-plate.

Yes it is. The construction strongly suggests that it is a Sylvania. And further, Sylvania's EIA code, 312, is printed on the base. The date code, 913, suggests that this tube was labeled and packed by Silvertone in 1959, week 13.

@Monsterzero Toshiba are the most airy and are fastest to my ears. Slightly brighter than the Fivre and RCA. I think the Fivre have the best mids and body. The RCAs though are great all-rounders, surprisingly similar to the Fivre and way more available.

Based on what I have heard you say about the VO, I think the Toshibas would be up your alley. If you want them though, you gotta buy them from Japan. Those Japanese auction-goers know these are good tubes, usually multiple bidders and a full set would cost you around $150 USD. Maybe they are using them for guitar amps? I don't know, but they are desirable.

Thanks Ken. They're pretty old tubes. Have never found out how old my other 6bx7 tubes are. I'll give Sylvania 6bx7gt a go. Never had Sylvania 6bx7gt before.

Sorry I confused Taylor Swift with Nickleback...... and it's Nickelback. Meaning Monster wants his nickel back !

Wow I just learn this fact.
Nickelback is releasing their latest album Feed The Machine on June 9, 2017. ... Any true rock fan knows that Nickelback is the greatest rock band ever formed. While the bands like the Beatles might be more widely liked, the only reason people consider them the best is that they've been around the longest.

Watch this really good.

Watch this really good.

Not where I expected to see George Costanza, looks like he must have had a career change, but great to see he has found true love and can also make a killer latte.

They will need to throw some Beatles memorabilia in Lake Erie to make room for Nickelback when they inevitably make it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
