The Reference 6SN7 Thread

I am using a 6C8G RCA myself, I may need to buy other examples.

All I know is with these NU and Ken Rad 6C8Gs - whatever it is that makes them special, making me a true believer in the round plate design. I mean there is something special about them and how they convey sound. It's pretty incredible.

I really like the Tung Sol 6J5's I have...with round plates.

I just committed to buy a large group of these new in the box, my favorite Melz 1578. I have made several purchases from this seller and they are NOS with original paperwork and boxes.

One? What about a backup? And a backup for the backup? I'm starting to worry about you.

Well I do have my personal stash and those are sacrosanct. I have included some in amp builds, not yours of course but important people. Giving you good tubes is just feeding the monkey.

Dang. Somehow I feel like I should feel diminished. But then I go look at my Foton stash and feel undiminished again.

I am listening to some Fotons as we speak, I re-soldered a 51, a couple 52's and a couple 58's. I do this for people you know, not those of your ilk and guile but people lol.
Listening in my best build with some Utopias, life is good. Some of the handwriting on the tube boxes looks vaguely familiar but I have never known you to give up a tube if you can find a way not to.

IIRC, I had a senior moment and put your address on the shipping box by mistake. Oh well. I have more.

Money is flooding into my PayPal account, looks like I can afford the good single malt this holiday weekend. And amazingly enough the last time I ordered from Russia I got the package in eleven days, previous time took two months. The package sat in Chicago for a month.

I'm really beginning to not like you as much as @Ripper2860 .
