Glenn,
Our local started serving a new Puttanesca Pizza!
I'm thinking this is a good omen for the Experimental!

Sooo, I'm itching to get back to B'Klyn early autumn and perhaps read up on Radio Tubes & Circuits on the iPad while I lounge.

I found a pair of these 6080's locally very cheap NOS... they are Tomson-CSF branded and have found 0 info on who made them... They do sound rather good, I still prefer my microphonic Chatham's but these have a bigger sound stage and good clarity. I can post more pics if anyone needs them to help identify them.

Oh we know the Thomsons alright. I have a bunch somewhere and Stavros has them too (probably a whole crate).
It's a nice sounding tube. Very clear, detail, bit forward sounding. Not warm at all and no specially good bass or smoothness in the mids.
 
A good cheap tube! (There are thousands of these left and can be bought for 3 to 4€/tube)

oh, and I think they are French. All the tubes you find know seem to be coming from ex army stocks in France. I think Stavros knows more about them and I also think we have more info on these tube either in this thread or the 61S7G thread

I couldn't agree more Lieven.
I was lucky to get some a couple of months ago when the first appeared as ex French military stock for the ridiculous price of $8 for the quad.
