6N7 and Chatham 6AS7 powers...

Always one of my friends @Suuup's favorite compliments, and it is very dynamic and great sounding.

Have not heard from Suuup in a good while - hope he sees this and hope he is doing well.

HNY Suuup!!

These cheap, ugly, dirty glass tubes are amazing! The cleanest, most detailed sound I've yet to hear. The way they reproduce vocals is incredible. And the instrument separation is on point. Very clear, clean and accurate portrayal of the recording. IMO.

Received my '54 GE 6AS7G power tubes today. Very noticeable difference in sound compared to stock and the RCA I tried. It was a bad combo with the cheap Russian tubes right from the go. Shrill and soulless.
I rolled in the stock PSVane drivers and am giving it a listen. 20180108_205249.jpg

I am not 100% sure, but I think that the GE labeled 6AS7G tubes may be RCA tubes.

After putting Elise away for more than a year and setting her back up, when using the 6AS7G for powers, I do like the inexpensive 6N7G as driver tubes.

They have details space and textures that I am not hearing with as much excitement, via similar priced 6SN7.

If you are new new to Elise, try the 6N7G (the coke bottle shaped variety). Not expensive, (buy the inexpensive USA made ones) and well worth the cost of a pair of adapters (use the same ones that you would for ECC31 to 6SN7):

JazzVinyl you have just reminded me that I have one NOS RCA 6N7G so I think I will get another and the adapters of course and try them out, one question, what is the bass like on these?.

Bass is very tight and solid. With 6N7G the sound is more 'forward'. Tiny details and textures are clearly heard.

Thanks JV, think I will have a go with them.

Also I have just been reading of your experiments earlier in the thread with the EL3N as a power, think I will give this a go tonight!.
