Still have 2 pairs Sylvania 6AK5W and one pairs of 6AK5 available for sale, all mil-spec white box, black plate, round halo getter, matched with o'scope on my MK III. Also have a few pairs of Tung-sol JTL-6AK5W (pulls, hand picked in surplus stores, tested with tube tester and matched w/ o'scope) available. Have to sell more of my stocked tubes to fund the 6H30Pi-DR purchase.

Of course, I still keep two pairs of Sylvania for myself, on MK III and IV. They are pretty much my reference tubes when comparing to other tubes. The only thing I don't like the EF95 family is they do not have shielding like EF92 tubes, so depends on your environment, EF95 tubes may be more sensitive to EMI noise. I prefer Sylvania 6AK5W over Mullard M8161 big shield. Never get chance to try amperex bugle boy EF92, if someone have a pair to exchange, please let me know.

Thanks Peete, just placed my bid.

 

[oofie810]

Peete, do you know if I can use the 6N6P-I = ECC89 and the 6N6P-I = ECC99 interchangeably? I found some of the ECC99 that I can buy right away as it looks like someone would like to outbid me for the one you linked.

Fire an email off to that link I sent you and ask if he will sell you a lot outside of an auction. Forget about ECC99 or 89 designation...the only one you need to worry about is 6N6P-I.

The other are near compatibles with large ? about them being used in the MK III. The only types that work 100% are what I mentioned already and the less favored, SQ wise, 6N6P.

Peete.

Thanks Peete! I wasn't sure about the ecc89 and 99 stuff because after reading the Tube FAQ, it says they have different bases. Anyway, gonna email the seller now. Thanks again!

Anyone know tubes which have forward mids and a bit recessed highs?

Heck, im totally broke and can't afford to change amp now and all the tubes I've tried with these new phones have flaws on some part. These M8161 really push the highs and the phones don't like it. I mean I can hear SSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssSSSSSS on every word there's a S in.

I'm still burning them in but the mids have been sweet from the start.

Where to get a pair of matched and tested Sylvania 5654 tubes with round getters and black plates?

 

[punk_guy182]

Seller confirmed it had black plates and round getters with green lettering on the glass.

Hi,

I purchased some driver tubes from Yen Audio (Quick delivery !), checked them, work fine. So I changed back to the stock tubes.

It was then I noticed that the right power tube was a duller orange than the left one. I only just got the amp last week and have only been burning it in for a total of 17 hours (not continuous).

It does not seem to degrade the sound, but as this is my first tube amp, I was just wondering if I should be concerned about this?

Oh yes, I swapped the tubes from left to right and it is the tube and not the amp.

Thanks for any advise.

 

[easycure]

I have the same symptom, no degradation in the sound quality noticed.
