Just got the EH 6CG7 and popped it in the Vali 2+.
Sweet, really Sweet!

@bcowen Well you were VERY correct on the 6CG7.
Its indeed right up there close to a 10 in this amp...
OMG scary good...

Rhythm Devils, Naplam for Breakfast is really awesome!!
Both the ADX 5000 and the D8000 Pros are swinging sweetly here.
Satriani's Always With Me, Always With You....!!

I got this tube from a guy in SC close to home..for a decent price.

Thanks again....

Probably the best thing about those GE5670 is they glow real purty.

…is that Canadese…?

Actually, that was me that recommended the EH 6CG7. Glad you like it!

Thanks for the props, but I don't think it was me that recommended the EH. I've not yet heard one of those, though I've tried a couple other 6CG7's that sound very good. Glad it's sounding great for you though!

Ahh! Whew. My memory isn't dead after all.

That left me scratching my head too. I shudder to think of what the state of the world has become if you're recommending EH tubes now.

LOL! Actually I'm not anti-EH globally. There have been a couple types that I didn't much care for, but I really liked a set of 6CA7's (EL34) that sounded excellent in a Cary amp. As I haven't heard the 6CG7 I can't comment on it, and I'll save my global bashing for my usual suspect.

…only a few letters away from….E C!G! ...

 

[RickB]

I should state that if you have an original Vali 2, the EH 6CG7 is not a good tube in that amp, it's pretty muddy sounding. But the Vali 2+ is brighter and something about the balance of that with this tube does some magic.

If Vali 2+ is brighter than Vali 2, is RickB+ …?

ECG stands for Equivalent to Cracked Gonads. Which is more painful is, of course, a matter of personal preference.

Your implication is not appreciated.

Good Morning!

Well I dont usually look at EH tubes anymore until I saw @RickB 's :

"If you can, try it with an EH 6CG7. With this tube, this is my favorite amp of all time."

I was very surprised that it works as well as it does.

So after all my old age confusion of names and who did what here I sit pondering life and what to do next!

Hmm...well first its going to be a second cup of coffee, then off to the shower and breakfast.
(Need to shower first so the flies stay away!)..
