Westinghouse 6SN7GTB with D getter ... Has to have D not O... Reliatron made.... Good luck! I think you'll like this tube a lot.

Was it this one?

I think I now understand the question of the getter. I get beat up with English here.

These are the O getter... The halo at the top is perfect round.. like a ring.

Wonderful my friend. Thank you!

Today I heard the TS5998. Now I understand why people love this tube. Very balanced and very rich in details. In fact, it shows an extra layer of music. The combination with Ken Rad vt231 was excellent. Now I will test it with the RCA vt231.

I like your description of the added layer of music .. it is a special tube.

I wanted a little help to define the hot and exuberant 6sn7 that you have already tested. . It makes my life easier. LOL.

In the Incubus amp, I've been really enjoying the combo of the Mullard 6080 with a pair of round plate Tung Sol 6J5's. Yup, need an adapter for those...

2nd that on the Westinghouse. I can't hear much difference (if any) between the Reliatron branding and without...the important thing is the plate configuration and as Jedi mentioned the D getter. These can still be found relatively cheaply even with the Reliatron label and can be found for even less at times with alternate brands (I have one labeled Coronado that I paid like $15 for totally NOS, but it's the real deal).

How could you tell the Coronado was a Westinghouse? IEM code?

Can't remember if it has the WH EIA code or not (I'm at the beach right now so can't take a look). Bought it on Ebay. The seller had a bunch of nicely detailed photos so I was looking at the internal construction which matched up perfectly to the WH's I have. I'll take a pic of it and post this weekend.

I'm happy if it makes you happy, but I'm happy regardless...kind of hard to NOT be happy at the beach.
