Hi guys.
Am relatively new to this particular thread, but have followed your postings for some time recently.
My first reason was for using the 6SN7 as power tubes in our rolling experiments over at the Little Dot...Rolling Guide. And they were a great improvement over the stock 6N6Ps or 6H30Pi-EH (and I found even over the VERY expensive 6N30P-DR). Then we discovered the 6AS7G (especially the GEC version!), which even surpassed the 6SN7 (as power tube, that is).
Well, in my quest for a better amp to do real justice to these tubes, but at a price below the likes of the Glenn, LaFigaro 339 etc. I approached the makers of the Feliks-Audio Espressivo-E (in Poland) and suggested they consider a unit that used these two types of tubes - both of which are very popular, of course - instead of the current 6N1Ps and 6N6Ps...And they agreed! They have now started a prototype, which they hope to complete within the month and are seriously working towards (hopefully!) being able to pitch it BELOW $500, which I am sure would be quite a feat and which I suspect might appeal to some of you who appreciate the 6SN7, especially in combination with the 6AS7G/6080.
If anyone is interested and would like to know more/follow progress, I have started a new thread - "Feliks-Audio...a 6SN7 + 6AS7G/6080 prototype".
The more interest is shown, the more incentive there will be for them to make it work! (Well, to my way of thinking anyway...). So all are welcome...
