Just read this and more about the loktal base and what a PITA/problematic it can be in maintenance situations. Learning something new every day! I guess you gotta remember to look at the tube as a whole, and not just the internals.... "It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory..."

It's a way better choice for 6080 tube. A higher tier choice, and leagues better than any RCA 6080. The RCA 6080 tends to be really lifeless, this is the best I can describe it. It will make your amp function, but nothing else beyond that. If you had to have an RCA power tube, the 6AS7G is the way you'd to go, it is the opposite of the 6080 in that its always dependable and will always complement any music with a nice warm tone.

Can I expect a difference between the Mullard and my Svetlana 6AS7GA ? This was my last budget for 2020. I was between a HD600 or a pair of speakers and a tube lol

Well that's the thing. I didn't get the HD600's. I got speakers and the tubes. Currently enjoying my HD660s and DT880 600

lol.. you'll like/enjoy them the same. I was tempted to grab them myself as I have the rebranded (Philips) version of them tubes and would love to have a Mullard labeled Mullard, I'll tell you what, you don't like em, send me a PM and I'll take them off your hands.

@Deceneu808 I was also going to mention that - if you happen to not like the Mullard sound, you will probably have no problem reselling those tubes... :smile:

Absolutely. I also have the same Svetlana Winged C. Where (in my opinion) The Svetlana is open, airy, bright, wider soundstage, the Mullard from what I remember, is warm, full, rich mids. I do miss that tube, had to sell it off a while ago. But @JKDJedi can speak better to this, having owned both currently.
