My weekend has just began after some work on a Sat morning.

So after I am rested, had my massage and listen to some soothing symphonies, I will work on my 8000 posts.

Everything sounding so wonderful today with Sylvania 6SN7-WGT/TS5998

So you're liking your TS 5998 now which you didn't like before. Just goes to show that the love of which tubes is closely linked to the seasons.

Off to the beach? It's about 7 degrees centigrade here. I'm hugging Euforia, La Figaro and myself for warmth.

Yes, but it is F° where he is going!

I have been looking a bit around on eBay. Has anyone tried Ken-Rad 6080?

Can you link it or a picture of it.

Looks interesting and genuine. It's from India so I guess great with Bollywood songs. Since the price is cheap why don't you try it and let us know.

 

[Tunkejazz]

Yeah, maybe I will do it. So far I have liked everything I head from Ken Rad in different tube types.
The same seller also has a pair of Telefunken 6080. I read that there are many fake ones around, but not all (?).

There are 6080s made by Tfk and there are GE relabels. Relabeled does not equal fake but it is not the real thing either.

Are the original Telefunken 6080 any good? I don't want to pull the trigger on any more tubes now, but I am asking just out of curiosity.
I could not find much around about those Telefunken 6080.

When I get the KR 6080 and GEC 6080 then I can play a bit with different combos of driver and power tubes. I have to admit that even the PSVANE are quite good.
A bit lighter bass/mids than ken-rad 6SN7GT but they sound very articulate, and they really shine with acoustic music in my opinion.

I have no experience with them.

I remember back in the "old days" of the Elise thread. Everybody was saying the fotons were absolute crap. I had 6 of them, and thought they sounded fine. Funny how everything changes.
Good to see UT not leaving. Although he is very strong in his beliefs (even though we may not all agree) he is very valuable ,. He is one of the best when describing what a certain tube is capable of doing musically.

Please AQ, with these kind of praises, my cycling helmet won't fit my head anymore. The yardstick I adopt in evaluating tubes are from a Western movie. It's either good, bad or ugly and you know who is the last man standing after that 3 way fire fight.

As for me being valuable, I know that and my cavoodle knows that. Finn wags his tail like a happy pup every night he sees me coming home. A dog's a man's best friend I tell you.

You'll be rich... I mean richer as you are already rich AQ !!! with the Fotons price climbing steadily on the stock exchange.
