This will be my first real 6520, so I'm pretty excited to hear it. I had a pair of NEC-branded 6520's I bought back when I was first learning about 6AS7's, but I sent one to a friend and broke the other one. While it always sucks to break a tube, I didn't lose any sleep as it was pretty mundane and 'meh' sounding. Turns out they were relabeled RCA 6AS7G's since RCA never made a 6520. Live and learn.Good find and still a decent price for a great tube.
How many 6520s is that in your collection now? Would be interesting to see the differences between them. I stopped at 4 (or is it 3? - not at home to check) and I think there are two types so far.
