Listening to Sam Cooke now. Bringing it home to me. Beautiful simply beautiful. It can't get better than this. The 6sn7s deserves another photo.
UT, how about 6 foton 6SN7?
A cheap alternative to 6bx7
This amp will sound good with cheap tubes but give it some love if you can. Performance grows with better tubes used and this amp deserves it. This weekend has been a special one for me. I have the luxury of listening to music uninterrupted apart from a dinner outing with my family yesterday. I'm in awe with what I'm hearing from this amp. I realise I have not power on my lounge stereo system for 5 days now.
When I built the first OTL I used the cheapest tubes Russian 6H13 and 1633 $4 and this sounded great.
I really never upgraded tubes eventually I tried the 13D1 but never changed the output tubes. Sounded great
with these low cost 6H13s.
It could only use the 25 volt SN7s 1633 & 13D1 but the 1940s 1633 sounded up there with the best SN7s for $4
Any difference between 6H13s and 6N5S Glenn?
Not really sure I think they are pretty close.
Never tried the 6N5S
No more love for the 300B.
Glenn - are you still getting orders for it?
