Rob, PAB is getting them from a European source. I asked him how they fair against the 5998 for Rock, and he said to stick with the 5998.

I know a few members who picked up some Bendix 6080's, which I'm dieing to hear..

 

[bobby001]

nope

I bought it on a uk website : here

Can you tell me where to find the TS 5988, you already gave a link, but seems not available anymore

 

[bobby001]

pretty cheap : 20$ not including shipping

if the shop doesn't send overseas I could help you for buy it and then send to you.

edit : it's even cheaper when you add it to cart it's only 15$.

That is good to know since the 6080 is not usually an expensive tube (you can get NOS USA ones for around $5). I will try that site, thanks!

Bump!

I have been trying several combos, any idea of a combo that would give me the tight controlled bass I am looking for (not quantity) for MP Sextetts?

 

[Skylab]

Tight controlled bass = Tung-sol 5998 power tube

 

[bobby001]

I'm still looking for a Tung-sol 5998

All 336i owners are, unfortunately.

 

[malldian]

Any idea on the differences between the years? For the 5998 should I be looking for something specifically?

I found a 6AS7G Tungsol black plates NOS 1961, yay or nay?

 

[Skylab]

Yeah, too bad AES sold out - for a while they were just $22 NOS!

Matt, all 5998's were made by Tung-sol, and they are all the same (do NOT get a 5998A however, which was a GE relabled 6080)

All years sound the same. Refer back to that thread you PM'd me about. There's pictures of different years, but they all sound the same. Which is surprising, because most tubes don't sound the same even a decade apart.

This is the most action this thread has got in a week.. we must keep this one active guys.

 

[malldian]

Yeah I am going to start taking notes on different combination I try and post them here.

I look forward to reading them. I finally found the thread on "sounds". It's been difficult for to write down what I hear, because I'm still new with writing about "sounds".

If anyone is interested:
