No - good suggestion, but not it.
Didn't Skunk Works help design and test the SR-71 spy plane (that could fly at mach 6)?

Excited to get some packages in the post yesterday, but I certainly can take a break buying tubes... 7x Sylvania 6BL7s (branded Fivre, but they are Sylvania), 4x Fivre 6C5G, 2x Grey Osram L63 (to replace a pair that I ruined!)
.. time for a break man !!
Know the feeling!
You have a heck of a lot of really nice tubes, Chris!!
The 7x 6BL7's that are Fivre->Sylvania - are they the Flat Plate ones?
Here is an interesting roll for you, Chris, using tubes you might already have:
ECC88 + C3g as Driver Triplet and 2x Mullard 6080's...
Kind of the opposite of the normal GOTL take on things, very fast and articulate, not as laid back. A touch of warmth from the 6080's balances this out.
Cheers!!
There are a bunch of different ECC88's. Which are you using in this triplet?
And I'm still running six Melz 6H12C (or 6N12S). Unfortunately, with only two output sockets, it is difficult to directly compare them to 6BX7, swapping tubes in and out of adapters is a major hassle. But my impression is that the Melz are relatively transparent and I find that they allow more euphonic drivers, such as the gray-glass NU, the black glass Brimar or the TS BGRP to shine. Currently enjoying the Tung-Sol very much.
Hey JV, tx for the recommendations. Always warmly welcomed!Know the feeling!
