Thanks man! Any experience with the Rca 6as7g? Have any personal recs?

They're a little loose but are inviting at the same time, with the right driver (and I'm guessing what you have will work) can be enjoyable. Tubes however (in the voice of Tom Hanks) are "like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get".

Haha word!
Loose sounds like an OK thing as Its inviting, engaging, and a little tubey. Honestly, likely will prefer a little bloom over a less inviting sound

Buy low, sell high enough to break even or even turn a profit to buy other tubes. Try out many for yourself. RCA is still my least favorite power tube. However, many love them.. you can find them cheap enough to try out.

ROFL! I was thinking more along the lines of this, but those would work too.

@Slade01 Have to take back what I said earlier , output tube makes a huge difference (Bendix6080wb) with these tin cans.. (I should've known)

Thinking about modding the adapter for amber LEDs?

I have 5 Sylvania 6J5 tubes here somewhere..just found the one.. time to reorganize the shelves..

Uh-oh. By all appearances, you've reached Level 4. Get help (not from me, obviously) before you reach Level 5.

I was planning on duct tape, but now you've given me a neat idea! Thanks....I think?

I don't have any GE power tubes....never hated any of my amps that bad. I do have a few GE 6SN7's....IIRC they came along in one of those tube caddies I bought many years ago. I likely missed the trash can when I chunked them and my wife stuck 'em back in the box. She didn't know...I forgive her.

I can only imagine. It was already rock solid for me with the regular gold brand 6080. The gec 6080 even better. Like I said, the tin cans seem underrated. They were a pleasant surprise for only a few bucks. I definitely need to cap it off with a 5998 for sure. I still have those dual A2293 power as a wild card too. *watches mailbox like a hawk for deyan made adapter...*
