i say detail and it gives me 3d presentation to my ears.  It has good separation of instruments.  some tubes has extension of trebles and it has tight bass impact.
dead silent noise.
 
these tubes (70's) adapting different genre really smoothly and bring those genre music well..

Finally got around to ordering some of these for the Lyr and my Tube Tester.. Best idea ever for the Schiit.  MUCH Easier to get out once seated.  and it gives the tubes some additional height for visual ambiance

Yeah, I should look into tube tester too...Hmmmmm
 
Yeah, thanks

That's a stock picture he uses. I bought several batches from him - never received even one '75 SWGP. Worse 1/3 failed testing of what he did send.

Yeah 'sovtube' is a big teaser! But came across a good seller 'radioretail' from Lithuania.

How can a pair of 40 yr old vintage Russian tubes turn Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' into a near religious experience?!

Wow! Good to be back home...missed my music system. Beyond relaxation...rejuvenation!


Now on to Zepplin's 'Presence'. And embarrassment of riches...

Just noticed the post number - 1974...weird synchronicity.


This one...1975!!!!

Any recommendations for tubes / sellers@ looking to spend around 60ish for my first pair.

I recommend looking up mercedesman on Ebay. He sells a bunch of 6DJ8 amperex matched pairs for around $60.

1974 and 1975 was a great year for both!

I have an extra pair of matched '81 Voskhod Rockets for around $30. They're a great starter tube in the 6n23p lineage. Really good bass, excellent detail, good soundatge, very quiet and durable.

PM if you're interested.
