This is very close to what I liked the most in Elise. These 6F6G are not sounding similar with 6V6 family?

Hi @OctavianH. Yes, they are in 6V6 family but w/0.7A heater current. The K-R 6F6G seem to have a bit more heft / note weight in the lower mids and bass whilst still sounding clean in upper mids and treble. I have some Mullard 6F6GT's which are even more robust sounding, although lose a wee bit of top end. Fun tubes to try in combinations.

New Feliks Elise owner here, coming from a Feliks Echo this was a big upgrade from it. After reading posts here, I also pulled the trigger on a pair of KenRad VT231 that will be coming in a few day. Now I am looking for some good power tubes. How does the GL KT88 compare to GEC or Mullard 6080?

@LoryWiv

The ken rad 6f6gs are warm tubes indeed. However, these sound too dark in my chain. The mid bass bloom often bleeds in the mids and vocals. You got any other suggestions? What about vt115a or vt107a tubes?

 

[LoryWiv]

Before you give up on the 6F6, perhaps try them in the power slot with a bright driver like Sylvania VT231

Will do !! That sounds like a gnarly idea but im up for it. In the meantime, just ordered a set of Syl vt107a NOS. Gonna experiment with your suggestion in the mean time.

Syl vt107a tubes just came in. Havent tried them out yet. Originally bought them to power my elise but now im thinking if these can be used as drive tubes w/ adapters?

@LoryWiv you got any ideas?

Yes my friend, absolutely suitable as drivers (w/adapters). That is in fact how I enjoy them best.

Update

Been running the sylvania VT107a NOS tubes as drivers in my Elise. These are powered by a set of GL KT88/PSVANE KT88. With either of the power tubes, the sound is excellent. Bass is plentiful (a little bloomy with my VC). The top end is clear with just enough extension. The mids/vocals are where i find these tubes to be lacking. To be fair, i am coming from a set of Sylvania VT231 which are known for their sweet mids and top end. I was wondering if either RCA 6v6gt or any of the VT115 tubes would give me a little more sweetness in the mids....

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I'm wondering if it's possible to reduce the gain of the Elise by rolling one set or both sets of the stock tubes for another type, can anyone share any wisdom here?

Just trying to get a bit more range on the volume knob.

Thankyou

Changing tubes won't reduce gain. Reduce volume at the DAC if you have a variable output or lower the source volume PC or whatever you are using

Would be hard to compete with the mid/vocals there

Elise is so versatile! Here are Sylvania 6K6GT drivers / Mullard 6F6GT powers in Feliks Elise. Current draw is 1/3 of stock tubes (2.2A total for all 4 tubes!), amp runs cool & quiet w/excellent sound.
