Has someone tested the 6SN7? Will someone test it?

Originally Posted by takezo /img/forum/go_quote.gif i finally got around to making a pair of adapters to use the popular 6sn7 type dual triodes. it took some time to locate a coupling copper pipe used in plumbing to make use of an octal socket and a 9-pin socket. i used 22awg solid copper for the internal hookup between the two sockets. the gold-plated male pins for the 9-pin end were found on eebay. total parts= $35+ plus shipping for the pair. it took me more than 6 hrs. to prepare and put these together as i've never made one before... here are some pics: the sound signature of these 6sn7 is, in general, very refined and smooth. not the most dynamic but everything just sounds natural and smooth; not a hint of graininess nor sibilance nor compression. in fact it sounds better than the 6cg7/6fq7, the 9-pin sisters of the 6sn7... better resolution, openness and balance. it rivals the 6cs7 for timbre and texture in the mids, but much more quiet and larger soundstage than the 6cs7. in terms of soundstage, it's similar to the 6ew7 but not as large as the 6fd7. the 6sn7 does lean towards the "tubey" sound... soft yet detailed, glowing yet focused and smooth in the most refined sense... and no smearing! for what i listen to, i like these in the output section the best... for now. it's mu is 20 for both sections.( i used the gz30 for rectification, as i find this the most neutral and balanced, and the senn650 and denon d5000.) |
