I know, but I've spent so much on tubes that I really try to wait for deals; that way, I won't feel bad if I don't like them. I spent $80 on a pair of Mullards that I hardly use. Just doesn't work as well for my system as the 7316 or 5963. The worst was when I purchased a Amperex long plate for $75, I think I REALLY overpaid for that. They said it was "Reference" on Tubeworld, you know...

Take the ones you dont want and put them for sale here. Worked for me. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f44/tu...8/#post5614946 I started out with 8 or 10 tubes, now im down to 2.

I know, I know. Been meaning to do it. But, I think I'll finally get them to work, once I get a new DAC. I mean, if everyone say it's good, I must be the one with the problem, right? In any case, I should find out soon.

Just have got them, same as pictured above, will let you know later how they sound in my set up. I would be trying them from out of my CD player and on my amp as well, fun...

I plugged the 6n6p tube into my CTH amp last night and am loving it. Strong and powerful. Cheap as cowpats too and plenty available. Unfortunately my cash is spoken for until further notice so the Tungsram will have to wait.

I just got a pair from Checzlovakia today to replace the bum one I have. Man these are sweet. It always seems like you can have lots of thump or lots of detail and speed but I never had a tube do both. These seem to give you the perfect balance of both. I did go back to the Siemens in the interim and its hard to say, I love them both. If you have a headphone or amp that is just a bit more neutral than the 650 then the Tungsram is the way to go. I noticed in the CTH threads that the CTH seems to run a tad brighter than my Raptor on the same tubes. Thats the impression I got anyway.

Man this tube makes my headphones disapear. Enigma sounds amazing with the Tungslam,,!!!

For taming bass I would recommend an Amperex 7316 and second choice for bass taming would be a Siemens E82CC/5814A, they both have less bass weight than the Tungsram. I think the Siemens would be the more musical of the two.

Wow those two tubes cost significantly more...

none the less I guess I will still give tungsram a shot

Why buy a tube that you know will add bass when you want to tame the bass. The Tungsram is warm.

[Blackmore]

They are dead quiet and balanced with very good bass.

About TUNGSRAM

TUNGSRAM was founded in 1896. The TUNGSRAM trade mark was registered in 1909. The word "TUNGSRAM" is originated from the English and German names of tungsten (TUNGSten + wolfRAM). With this name the Company wanted to emphasize that it was the owner of the tungsten lamp patent granted first in the world and the fact that it engaged itself with the lighting business
