yes I understand in case the glass is a turn on itself, but this is very very minimal it's just a little not play even one inch
The point is that a loose base can only get worse.
The sooner you secure the better.
I am not aware of Ken Rad making any round plates but I could be very wrong.
I have a question about the Ken Rad black glass 6SN7 or 12SN7
Do the Ken Rads that are clear at the bottom of the glass, at the base instead of chrome in that area.....are those round plates or am I just thinking this for no reason.
Thanks for any info on this.
The two things are not related, at least not directly.
The "chrome" is the getter flashing. If the tube has no getter at the bottom (meaning the getter is on the top usually), then there will be no flashing at the bottom, and the glass will be clear. This has nothing to do at all with what kind of plates are used.
I seem to remember that Radiotron was an RCA brand name back in the day, but at least to my eyes, these look rather unique.
An interesting read. And I am always open to try new tubes. But unfortunately, given that I have no idea how they might sound, the current listing for these AWV is a bit too expensive for my wallet....
Any of them approaching the TS BGRP performance?
Anyone have recommendation on a modern day still in production 6SN7?
I'm looking at the following:
Shuguang Treasure CV181
Psvane CV181-TII
Sophia 6SN7

I never tried the Psvane, but I tried the Shuggie CV181 and the Sophia, and IMHO, even a "lowly" Sylvania 6SN7GTB sounded better than either one.
