Way cool! I've never been a big Mullard fan due to what I've heard in many of their tubes I've listened to: a rather closed in, 'airless' treble presentation and bloompy, gooey, ill-defined bass frequencies lacking impact and slam. Midrange? Oh yeah, baby, but the other two areas were too far out of my preference zone to ignore. If the 6201 eliminates or at least greatly reduces those deficiencies and keeps the midrange virtues intact, then that *is* a winner. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

One question -- hard to tell in the photo for sure, but does the 6021 base fit cleanly into a typical Schiit hole (sorry)? Like Lyr 3, Vali 2, etc?

Hi @bcowen,

Yes the 6021 base does fit cleanly into the amps, it’s the same diameter of Tubemonger’s socket savers.

Also to my ears yes the 6021 maintains the Mullard’s midrange but the treble reminds me of a Telefunken without being harsh, also my testing/ listening was done with my Focal Elex and HifiMan Ananda. Which both cans can really show if the treble is harsh.

Hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions. As I will try and respond as quickly as possible.

Are these tubes considered coronavirus free?
Will you be chucking the 7316 LP D-getter in the garbage. Give me your address and I'll go dumster diving!

I found a good “antivirus” to use on them so you should be good!

That's pretty cruel to the dumpsters. What did they ever do? :) :)

Halfway? You'll probably get too tired before you get there. You should turn around now so you get back home before you're exhausted. :)
