Finally back in action (See Below).  (I did wait about a month for the replacement Volume Pot)  The Bass is unreal.  Still gotta break em in.  Thanks to You, Mikelap and others for the tips and help on Tube Rolling.  (I am awaiting the adapters for the C3G's)
 

What 6SN7's are those? They NOS or new Russian made?

These 6SN7's are the newer Russian Tung-Sol.  These are all I have right now.  I want to get the NOS Tung-Sol that are Made in USA or I have my eye on those PS Vane.

Cool, I haven't really looked into getting adapters for the power tubes since the old stock tubes are usually pricey.
 Been running 6N6P-IR tubes for about a year, like them a lot, but if those new style tubes are as good or close, maybe I should get some adapters?

See link below for 6SN7 Adapters.  These are the good ones.

I also ordered the adapters for the Driver Tubes to utilize the C3G Tubes.

(I have not received my adapters yet)  Many say the C3G will blow you away.  I can't wait to try them.

There are more options with the 6SN7 and more plentiful, but can get very expensive with the NOS stuff, some thing like the Russian 6N8S (equivalent to 6SN7) are fairly cheap, another maybe the RCA 6SN7GT. Here is a link to the sort of thing you can get below.

Unreal!!  Bass is tight.  Everything is warm not too bright.  (Only been listening for an hour or so)  Everything sounds so good.  I am hearing things that I just didn't pick up on before.
 
They gotta break in.  I feel I can even get better with different 6SN7's
 
Thanks for those tips.

I am checking out these Sylvania 6SN7 GTB's.  Just got them today.  So far they sound warm, not too bright.  Tight Bass.  Gotta break them in.  I have some RCA's on the way as well.

That's interesting, as I have my eye on some of those too, what are they like compared to the Tung Sol's?.

So far they seem to have tighter Bass and all music is warm and easy to listen to.  Keep in mind the Tung-Sol's I had were the Russian re-issues not the NOS made in USA.
 
For some reason it will not let me post the link.
