Angelo I do apologise. That was rude.

What I should have said is, 'I am glad you are starting to appreciate 6sn7w resolving qualities'.

Generally I find Sylvania having a sharper tone. Tubes that are on the opposite side of the spectrum include RCA 6sn7gt vt231 smoke glass which is a warm and less revealing by contrast.

So depending on your needs, you have a selection of drivers and power tubes.

These are some of the most transparent driver tubes , for transparency they are probably unmatched....they will make any power tube sound superb.

C3g didn't sound that great on La Figaro 339 though. Certainly not comparable to EF86 on that amp.

That's not a fair comparison because EF86 is a great tube and sounds astonishing on LF339. Can't wait to bring this amp home.

I should have said with an amp that was made to use them.....they are very transparent, more so than any SN7 tube to my ears

Listening to La Figaro 339 now. First time paired with Yggy and HD800. Tubes used are Mullard EF86 and RCA 6as7g.

For further impressions from me on LF339, please see my post here. I like the LF339 a lot and I am being very forthright in my assessment here. I'll tell it how I hear it.... in comparison to Elise and Euforia.

Or these :)

You know, I've not really gotten into 6sn7 because I was into all the other non recommended tubes. Now with 2 OTL amps that are specifically designed for 6sn7 / 6as7, perhaps it's time I try a few 6sn7. :)

LOL

Stop collecting those gta, gtb, gtcs. There are a lot of nice 6SN7 on the market.

But hope you still like your 7N7, 6BX7, and 6BL7s.

Wow, found a sweat time UT is not available. hahahaha.

I like you attmci. You pay close attention to what I write. I'm more than flattered ....... :ksc75smile:

I'm keeping all my non recommended tubes for the next millennium. Old tubes always fetch a good price just like old wine. :wink:

Well, as I wrote on the Euforia thread I was struck with a revelation (forgive me the pun) with the 6sn7wgt and then the 6sn7w yesterday. No need to apologize, I'm still on my graduate degree in tube amps!

Besides, look at how I'm spending my Sunday morning!

My apology was about whether you heard the conductor farting.... I went too far. That's gross. It has nothing to do with 6sn7w.

Btw, next time you take the boat out, I'm coming. I'd even skip my badminton for it.

But I did hear the conductor farting! Or, rather, I was listening to Lianne La Havas singing so close to the mic it felt she was speaking these special words to me directly. I wonder @pctazhp would that be reasonable grounds to argue adultery?

Btw of course you and all the rest are most welcome to join us in the Greek waters! Leave the deck unpainted and give it a go!

Angelo I'm about to loose it. This 'thing' .... yeah I can't even bring myself to say the name on Elise thread..... is so good, fed by Yggy and a selection of choice power tubes.... and the unbeatable pentode Mullard EF86. This is a sad, sad day indeed because my ears are being infused with melodies so sweet.... any sweeter, it will burst. Forget about your boat..... just come here and listen to this twang.

This is my agony now.

You can fantasise as long as there's no touching, then it's ok... music does that to us. If that constitutes adultery, we would all be single by now and with no reproduction, the world's population will reduce to zero. That would be terrible.

Wait a minute.... let me rephrase the above sentence, From now on, you shall not have a revealing system.... you naughty boy. Stay good and behave.... if that means listening to a crappy system so be it. Now go fishing on that boat. It's less adulterous ..... fishes won't tempt you unless you come across a mermaid?

Please..... I spend $15000 doing that stupid deck and you ask me to leave it unpainted? With $15000, I could have gotten Chord Dave and then I would be able to give my Yggy to Pct and make him the happiest boy in Scottsdale.
