Anyone have experience with the russian 6j5? They are named 6s2s

You got me curious now... I'm gonna like at mine right now soon as I get home (lunch time)

there are more differences at the top as well.

Looking at the Mullard you bought, it is a little different from mine. Yours is smooth on the bottom plate, while mine is toothed. I don't know if there will be a difference in the sound.

Wow, so yes my copy of the Mullard has the round mica at the bottom the same, could we have a pic of your Mullard? And what's the date stamp on it? Mine is AJ1 R1G ( whatever that means )

I believe that means R1G means it was produced in their Mitcham factory.

Uau, então sim minha cópia do Mullard tem a mica redonda na parte inferior do mesmo jeito, podemos ter uma foto do seu Mullard? E qual é o carimbo de data nele? O meu é AJ1 R1G (o que quer que isso signifique )

Yup. I like them (with the right partner for a power tube).

Easy for you to say.

Looks like yours has dual halo getters up top too...

 

[SHIMACM]

Mine has the round mica at the bottom too.

In addition to the toothed bottom mica, mine has two getters on the top. Not to mention that the getters are covered by a plate. He is a 6080 SA. Does that mean anything? I read somewhere that some 6080 Mullards could actually be GEC 6080. Does that happen?

I really don't know. But as much rebranding / OEM'ing that went on with US-made tubes back then, it wouldn't be at all surprising if it went on with European manufacturers as well.

Look at the structure of this GEC.

Better photos.

I have had my blue LED covered with black wire tape since about the first week I owned the Darkvoice. My amp is positioned on top of a studio monitor due to lack of space and the blue LED would shine right at my eyes.

Here I swapped it out with a spare dim red LED I had from doing the LED biasing mod..

That appears to be a collectors tube there, very nice.. dual getters and all the micas are matching..and wow..just the saw the GEC comparison...the plot thickens!! Is that tube you have a Gec or is that pictured GEC a Mullard !? o.O #firstworldproblems You might have to send that to me for further evaluation.
