Ok Thanks for the tip I'll start looking now

I like the Sylvania 7236 with the Tung Sol Tubes. Almost prefer them with the Tung Sol tubes, especially the Tung Sol 6SN7GTB. If he plans on tube rolling, which he most likely will then yeah, the Tung Sol 7236 would be a better buy.

Ok thanks I'm having trouble finding Sylvania 7236 , can find Tung sol 6SN7GTB £35,00

Yes, now I'm wondering if you were just asking about the preamp tube (the front tube). Because the 7236 tubes are only for power, the tube that sits in the back.

Well on the darkvoice - there are two tube slots right? the 6SN7 which is the driver tube. And the 6AS7 which is the power tube.

Iv just found out I bought the pre apm valve i now need a power amp valve please

The power tube (6AS7). You can try to find a Thomson 6080 tube. They are a France made tube (maybe more readily available in UK) A buddy of mine said they can help bring that sparkle/airy in the top range. And I believe they may be inexpensive as well.

For the 6AS7 tube you can use 6080, 7236 among others tubes as equivalents.

Hi sorry to jump in ,newbie I just bought a used DarkVoice 336se not received yet
and I've just bought a pair of Tung-Sol 6SN7 GTB NOS (1 spare) upgrade
Can you please suggest the other missing valve to add to complete I'm using Sennheiser HD650 headphones , indeed to brighten them up top end I'm lost with all the names codes etc I need help
Please ,What can u say I'm old ,regards and hi to all from SouthWales

In general, using a 6080 or 7236 tube for the power tube (the one in the back) will brighten the sound up some, compared to a 6as7g. The Tung Sol 7236 is a really nice tube (I think the Sylvana is a rebranded Tung Sol, but I could be wrong. Happy listening!

I stand corrected! Thanks

Oh, yes, I did use the 12AU7s when I was playing with the twin 6BL7s on the BHC. You have to shield the transformer noise or use other way to avoid )). Moreover, I have to chose the correct pair of 6BL7s otherwise the results were no good.

Sorry, I understand this is not the BHC thread.

Sorry for my ignorance, but....what is BHC??

You guys forgot to mention GEC 6AS7G, WE 421A, Tung Sol 421A, Tung Sol 5998 for power tubes .....they're supposed to be the best, but very pricey though...
