I have no idea what a 1217 is. Can you tell us more?

​I read on page77 in this thread that you could use 1217 tubes(the same as 6BE6 tubes) in EF91 mode. Sylvania made some Gold Brand 1217 tubes. I wonder how these will sound. Today I am using some Mullard CV4014.

Searching back through this thread, I don't know that anyone tried the Sylvania 1217. However, the Sylvania 1217 should sound substantially the same as the Sylvania 6BE6. So if you can get a pair of the 1217 cheap, they are certainly worth trying. And then roll them in using EF91 and EF95 to see which setting you prefer.

I'm currently looking at the drop for the Little Dot 1+, what is the difference in term of sound with the WE408 and 6CQ6 ? What would be the better choice if I'm mostly  listening to EDM, country and a bit of rock.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on these Russian tubes? Just looking at rolling options, the description does sound attractive. The link is below pic

Yes indeed my friend  
 
My NAD amps are all I've used the last couple of years. I still recommend them highly as headphone amps. The thing is, I forget how good they sound when the impulse to try something new comes along. I always fall back on them.
 
I see you've got both the top senns - I'm looking to possibly buy either the original again or the 's'. Undecided..  Enjoying the little brothers at the mo HD700

Haha good for you! I used to play guitar - spent half my life playing in bands. Only got one guitar left from those days.. My trusty Fender Strat. An 80's model, black and white with maple neck. Love the tone of the Fenders. Used to use a les paul (sunburst red) as well which is great for rock and probably the coolest looking guitar ever designed. I'm a lefty so it was a nightmare trying to find guitars. Had to blind order my les paul without even trying it out! 
 
What have you got up to now? (I'm sure the folk won't mind a little diversion to the subject of guitars) I used to have a tube amp for my Fender

Those are beautiful. I love the classic designs and the Gretsch are timeless. The guitar which I always wanted but never got round to getting was the Telecaster. My guitar heros are Hendrix and Jimmy Page. I remember when I was started out playing early gigs, all my musician friends and other bands I played with had Ibanez (Steve Vai) types and racks of effect pedals. I had my Strat, a boss distortion and Wah pedal plugged straight into a combo fender amp. Thats all I needed!! Good times
 
Guitars are beautiful toys and I can totally understand the collecting of them. (I used to sleep with my Fender...haha)
