Not mine,

Enabler. You probably invite AA members to meet you at a bar.

Snagged a Sylvania Gold Brand 6080 and have been listening to it over the last day. Very reminiscent of the Sylvania 7236, but maybe a tad warmer. Pairs nicely with a warm-ish driver tube.

Have a couple of Graphite Plate Chatham 6080s that should be here around Monday. Very anxious to compare them against what I already have.

Some very nice person sent me a Sylvania Gold Brand 6080 that I haven't had a chance to listen to yet. Dangit. I need to take a week's vacation just to listen to the unlistened stash. Wait....I keep forgetting what vacation is. Anybody know?

The two Sylvania are almost carbon copy in build.. did a search here on the thread and it seems like the Bendix 6080 is the threads favorite, one user went as far as saying the Bendix 6080 sounded like the 5998.

Woohoo!! A few days early. Pristine, balanced and strong. Time to listen!!

(One of these babies. The other looks just as nice.)

I am one of those people. The Bendix 6080 WB sound better than the 5988. The bass impact, seperation of instruments and air, are superior to the 5998 in my opinion. The 5998 is really good, but the Bendix is better all the way, in my system.

LOL! The 5988 is still a great tube, and many love it. However, for me the Bendix 6080WB is the one in my amp, while my 5998's are collecting dust.

I have some confidential and super-secret information from another HeadFi'er that would agree with your assessment. I can't say more at this time or I will be killed.

Well, with that. Having one coming in soon. So we'll see.

So there's a story that's ongoing with this, I'm waiting to settle this from both parties involved. That hunch I had about the price being to good to be true ....yeah.
