Groan.

Jealous that NC beat TX to the punch?…

Thus spoke the man who has not heard the GE 5998A like so many of us have.

Hmm….blind listening sessions vs deaf seeing sessions….

@sam6550a, @AudioGal, @FLTWS, and others have been brave enough to try one. Shall we have another bet where you try to pick the GE? Hmmmm?

I own four of them and I will take on anyone…a fight to the filament?…

 

[HTSkywalker]

Count me in. But the GE will lose, unless of course all the rest of the tubes have only 5% emission and/or dead shorts.

Well I trusted your judgement for the T Plates Raytheon and it paid, also I liked the Black leader plates W/Xtra support Raytheon 6SN7GT too
Took your words for the GE as well so help me God

You are not that hard to ship to, you should get @bcowen to buy one for you, he could give it a listen then ship it on to you since he can ship it to a location in the US. This way he could hear one at no cost and re-solder the pins if need be.

Anything to help out a fellow audio bud. Except knowingly listening to a GE.

I'm considering a DarkVoice in the near future to complement my HD6XX. What tubes would be recommended if I want to get a nice rich, warm, smooth sound? I imagine listening to a lot of singer-songwriter stuff, so vocals and acoustic instruments.

What’s your budget?

If you like accuracy across the sound spectrum that is not bass heavy or mid loaded I like Melz 1578’s coupled with Tung Sol 5998’s or Chatham bottom getter 6AS7G’s. I can get more specific on 6SN7 equivalents but they do not always play well with Chinese amps of this caliber.

The tubes I am thinking of cost more than your amp but I have done a lot of experimenting.
