Holy, my dyslexia must of been kicking hard today, lol! Thanks for catching that.

6SA7 OK if you want a radio built.

On the subject of new output tubes, I was reading up on the 6AH4, approximately 1/2 a 6BX7.

You would need six adapters and a set of 12, a duodecet! I wonder why no one has tried this yet

I'm sure all those tubes will be as quite as a mouse!

So really, you would need to find, maybe 20 for a quiet set? It can be done!!!

With a pair of 6J5s and a triple driver setup with 6AH4 outputs, you could have 16 separate tubes in one head-amp, more if tube rectified. That would have to be some sort of a record.

Joking of course but I would love to see someone try.

Just found a killer combo I'm using with my Aeolus.

WE 422a/TS 12SL7 BGRP/X2 GEC 6080WB & X2 'Funken 6080

Those crazy Italians just love adding "GT" to everything.

GT = Gran Turismo or Grand Tourer

GT in tubes means Glass Tubular. And WGT means (military) rugged glass tubular.
As in my of my favorite drivers: NU 6SL7WGT

Aha, now we are talking! I have been running two pairs of 6080 tubes for many weeks now (Bendix and RCA) + a pair of EL8s and only rolling drivers in the 6SN7 socket.
Favorite drivers are NU 6N7GT/T, RCA 12SX7GT and NU 6SL7WGT. IMHO I get better results this way than with other combinations I tried.

Not that it matters , as it does not effect the sound....but....

I really like the looks of the amp aesthetically, when the rectifier tube is out front and glowing instead of the caps being out front.

Really is elegant looking.

Great pic, and to think it sounds as good as it looks.

Looks fab! All this talk about the GOTL makes my itch for one too..

Hop in line....it starts back there ------ ....

Well worth the wait!

Found a great combination for the Verite. This has a deep sound stage and and fairly wide sound stage. Very layered and clearer sounding than most of my other tube combinations.

The GEC 6080 and Fivre 6SL7 (round top with spacers) are just a fanastic pairing. I usually like the warmer sound but this slightly brighter and does so many things right. I even thought I wasn’t going to use the GECs as I didn’t like them at first.

The GEC 6080 is a great sounding tube, but as always, in synergy with other tubes, amps and equipment.....

If somebody is looking for a Sylvania 6SN7W, here is a listing at the reasonable price of $35 shipped:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/SYLVANIA-J...rentrq:43adf3b516c0ac3d5d184479fff626ea|iid:1
The tube has a crack in the base (not any cause for worry IMHO) which can be fixed easily with a little crazy glue.
(there is a second tube at the same price, but this one measures better)
