Well....how does it sound?

It sounds just like Sylvania. I'll know for sure when it comes.

I also read that it's one of the top 5 6SL7. I don't plan to buy all types of 6SL7 under the sun. I'll just pick a couple of the good ones. I'm enjoying the very clear and dynamic Brimar 6SL7 red letters with Tung Sol 6550 at the moment.

Interested in your impressions. Never heard a round plate Sylvania, I'm more familiar with the 6SN7 with the triangular plates. Brent Jessee has 6SL7WGT round plates for $40.

Kind of interesting how the great majority of 6SL7's have round plates, and only a select few 6SN7's have round plates. Don't ask me why 'cause I don't know, just an observation.

Slacker. What, are you taking the day off?

Right on Lory. I spend today using LCD4 instead of He1000se as a result. The Audeze is making a comeback in my world. The 6k is not in vain. In fact the tone is so good....

I also discovered that I like using 6SL7 today instead of EL11. Not sure why but it just sound right. Gone from Brimar 6sl7 to Tung Sol 6su7gty. Both good.

You should get this too. I've never heard one, but I've also never heard anyone say that any Arcturus tube sucks. The 7F7 is electrically identical to a 6SL7 (despite the seller labeling it as a 6SN7), it just has a loctal base so you'll need an adapter. Probably LOTS of cheap and excellent 7F7's around as they don't ping much on audiophile radar scopes.

Hahahaha.... I am too busy listening to music now. I'll show you a picture I took about 1 or 2 days after Odyssey came.

Can you make the font smaller so no one can see?

Bcowen, I do have a 7N7 to 6SN7 adapter and I've one (and only one) 7N7 which I tried in Elise several decades ago. Still have the tube and adapters. Pairs.

Cool beans! All you need now is the tube secret thing.

Wow, that never occurred to me!
