For bigger output power I would recommend 6P36S.

For bigger output power I would recommend 6P36S.

Why? I'm thinking i can still use 6P31S as it has max plate dissipation of 10W. I'm running them at about 3.5W now so I got plenty of headroom there.

This is the sexy black glass of which I have a NOS pair.

Shameless amp and tube pornography.

My favourite 6SL7's definately, and for some reason cheaper than the 6SN7's, I don't know why considering they both sound exactly the same.

Well Sonic is gonna need himself these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Telefun...113606?hash=item3b3f5cc046:g:n6oAAOSwj7ZdeI4B

Why not, He could easily sell off his Oblivion... and still have money left over!

European TV tubes are still mostly decent priced, and soviet tubes surely are. Better get a stash before the soviet stigma (which is not in reality related to the actual quality, but the image) is finally lifted. Hopefully not for years.

The quality of those Russian tubes appears to me to be quite unrivalled.

May I ask why would you need 8 W RMS?

To drive my Axis Voicebox S with more power. I can get it going now but with volume hovering between 12 noon and 3 pm.

I'll sell off my pair of nearly new curve base for US$500. That should be a bargain.

Wow, bargain basement prices, watch out for the stampede!

Yes it's the same famous Tung Sol black glass round plates tone and my NOS pair of TS 12sl7gt bgrp cost me US$99 and not US$500.

More gain on the 6sl7 too over the 6sn7.

Bigger and prettier bottle. No real reason.

I've got a quad. I look at them sometimes and think I need to build a HUGE SE amp with these. They're very pretty.

That's as good reason as any! You know I like big bottles!!

You might have got mine, I had a stash of these a while back, and much cheaper, yes.

We're lovers of big bottles and fine shape.

How about this CV1060 which is equivalent to 807 and 6BG6g and 6L6?

... and Haltron brand !

I've added more tubes to my Oblivion.

Those are my TS 12sl7gt bgrp with TS boxes from a seller in Arizona.

 

[MrCurwen]

For the price of that one tube, add a couple euros and you get four here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Tested...998922&hash=item2a78dd4b12:g:DUoAAOxyLm9TFigC
