Mind you, I'll be pig sick if they oust my (very) expensive GECs!
I don't think that's something you need to worry about, and I say this as a fan of the Svetlana 6N13S...

A few teaser-pics...the original model ( before the "makeover" ) :
Isnt she a beau....
if it can drive LOW impedence cans too, controlling the bass, that would be awesome...
as it is, one of my tube amps just choke up with my D7k...couf couf.
Hi Lorspeaker.
This subject of driving low AND high impedance cans brings me nicely to the latest UPDATE from Feliks-Audio...
They have decided to use TWO 6SN7s, as opposed to some of the oppositions' ONE driver...and I myself am over the moon.
Although - as another very respected member pointed out - one may be quite sufficient to do the job sound-wise (and true, means finding 2 not-too-dissimilar tubes), the Feliks guys have found that the advantage is in helping to better drive low impedance 'phones. Which can only be a good thing for those who have 'em lol!
And also, let's face it, it will look MUCH better than "Cyclops" sitting, staring at you, no?! (Aesthetics are important to me, anyway,...as well as sound...so long as the former doesn't detract from the latter!!).
Another PLUS is a 2-YEAR WARRANTY...Nice...
Further info to follow...
geez...i only have one pair of matching GEs.![]()
Style is very important thats why i got the WA2 its a great looking amp especially with 6AS7 type tubes and it sounds good so looks are very important in my book .I was checking Bottleheads Mainline amp its a good amp from what i heard but its not a looker just for that i probably wouldnt buy it .
WHilst we are waiting...may i ask a noob question about rectifier :
I have rectifiers like 5U4, 5Y3, 5AR4, GZ32, GZ34 ( used on a Decware Csp2+ )...
can such rectifiers be used on a 6AS7 slot...and vice versa..say with an easy addition of an adaptor?
Any danger? Or i should just keep them apart?
Hi,
Read with interest about the virtues of the 6N13S Svetlana Tubes with a winged "C". Did anybody compare them to the Chatham 6AS7G tubes?
If I decide to get a pair, which years and production should I look for?
