First get these.

Then start with these.

There are many other 5670/396a/2c51 variants. They're far cheaper than all "elite" 6922, and are far better imo. Ymmv.

Sammy's livin' rent free in my head, it seems. Of course, I'm too lazy to dig up links, so, what he said.

Thanks for clarification. They are base-labeled as RCA, but the box is Canadian Marconi/RVC.

FWIW, if we're talking about my "Canadian" 6C8Gs, nowhere does it say RCA, with what I wrote above the only printing anywhere on the tubes.

It seems that there are some with RCA label on the tube as well.

Wrong assumption on my part, thought tubes in discussion were similar to these:

CBS tubes arrived. Only a couple hours on them...but I can describe them in 2 words.

Detail. Monsters.

Bro they are top tier tubes imo. Not much talk about them. The amount of detail is Bendix like without the harsh highs.

Exactly like I also hear it, my friend.

These CBS are like the Telefunken of the 5670 world. Listening to jazz now and I marvel at the note decay and details such as little chair scrapes I never noticed before.

It's almost like I can hear beyond the notes delivery to the notes intent...and can tell that Miles left shoe hurts and Coltrane needs a glass of water.

They are really nice. Put about 70 hours on them and went away impressed. I need to get my TS 2C51s sorted into better pairs so I can do proper comparisons, but that's a PITA without a tester.

I'm less than impressed with the Canadian* 6C8Gs. Came back to them after about 24 hours and one is all jacked up. Swapped to be sure. Too impatient to try cleaning everything again. Reverted to my 1942 black glass Ken-Rad 6SN7 GTs and am again. I'm not sure how the Canucks spell PIF!, but I got a big ol' barrel of it for 'em.

* They could be from south of the border, eh?

My 2 pair of WE came in today, must of been packed in the early 50`s cus tubes were wrapped in newspaper and more newspaper was the cushion. Poor shipping. 1 pair works so far. in my MJ2, the 1948/49 pair. Chucked my other CBS pair in my DAC for some burn in as well. Had a different pair of WE JW`s in my DAC and first CBS in my MJ2.
@billerb1 I just shipped back your Bendix will PM you the tracking.

Anybody compared your standard TS 2C51 to the JTL variant? Wondering if I need to drop $14 of my hard-earned dollars on yet another pair of TS (in reality I am running out of space in the "tube drawer" of my desk LOL). Burnin' them 34.99 Mexican military hot tamales at the moment

 

[billerb1]

Think OldSkool has and didn't hear a difference. I have some JTL's coming so I'll see if I hear a difference. In other tubes I've tried over time I don't think I've
ever heard a difference between the regulars and the military's.

 

[TK16]

Only 3 out of the 4 WE are JW`s, one of the 48 or 49 is JW doubt I could tell the difference.

 

[L0rdGwyn]

Gotcha, thanks Bill. I will sleep better knowing my TS's are up to snuff

 

[billerb1]

Gotcha, thanks Bill. I will sleep better knowing my TS's are up to snuff

Well that will change when my Super JTL's show up. Why do you think I ordered them?
I got the FEELING !!!! TS 2C51's X 10 !!!!!!
