Nice
@mordy. Some 6N7* tubes have been "on my list" based on comments from this thread. I'll have to go back over the thread to see what combos people were running.
I have a lot of straight-glass and metal tubes. I wanted to add some pretty shoulder-types. I noticed on the
radiomuseum link for the 6N7G, they list the GT as a successor tube. Is there some reason the straight-glass tubes were deemed "better" at the time? I can't really discern any "general properties" of shoulder-type vs straight-glass tubes, but if there are any consistent differences I'd be keen to hear/learn.
@leftside - I think yours can take 6N7* tubes in the 6J5* slots, is that right?
I was wondering what the oldest tubes I had were. I'll have to look.
What are the oldest tubes that any of you are regularly using? I don't think I have any from the 30s... Now I have a mission. What are even the oldest feasible tubes for these amps? Things to ponder while listening ...
