DOH! I thought those were the Philips EL51s you posted in the other forum...so anyways have you tried the EL51s in the TRP?They won't work there. Just never ending different power tube variations...
*sorry for derailing the thread

Yeah they are very good. Slightly warmer than the Tesla's. I see the same seller was selling those EL51's, and they went for about the same price as the 6C5 - which is also a good deal.DOH!

yeah Raytheon, here’s a pair that I own.
Tung sol VT-94A > Sylvania 6J5G > Raytheon 6J5GWhat did you think of these Raytheons compared to the TS 6j5g?
Every setup and preference is different. Personally, I prefer the Sylvania 6J5GT from the very early 50's. These are metal base tall tubes and I imagine that they sound better than the metal base Sylvania 6SN7W (only have black base Sylvania 6SN7W) - at a fraction of the price.Tung sol VT-94A > Sylvania 6J5G > Raytheon 6J5G

Ah yes, love those too. I have quite a few and one of those great bargains to be had in 6J5GTs (Gray plate version).Every setup and preference is different.

I see that I got a little bit mixed up with the nomenclature. You listed VT-94A which is the same as 6J5G - didn't know that.Ah yes, love those too. I have quite a few and one of those great bargains to be had in 6J5GTs (Gray plate version).
The tubes I listed were the coke bottle G variations and I wasn’t including the GTs. But yeah every amp and headphones alone make a dramatic difference in a tubes performance.
Also on the note of Tung Sols.. I can hear a difference between my civilian Tung Sol 6J5G and the VT-94a coke bottle. They do also have difference in build.
VT is military speak for Vacuum Tube.
Too simple, eh?Thanks Mordy for this info, I always wondered what VT was

Good company! As somebody who brought attention to the ladder plate Fotons (6H8C) , I was under the impression that they were made between 1952 and 1955. Is the1958 the same construction?Nice. These I will pass up.
I think my curiosity about valves is over for now. At least while I'm with Darkvoice.
I sold many of my valve drivers. Currently, I'm only with Foton 52/55/58. Melz 1578 59/69. Fivre 6c5g. GEC L63 (coca bottle). Tung-Sol 6j5g and 6j5gt.
