Those are Tung Sol rectifiers and RCA military issue 6SL7's, but I seem to have some GE's around here that someone gifted me.
Next weekend we should have quite a crowd at my place (mostly outside) but several audiophiles will be here as well so I am hooking up a couple systems to show off some of my work besides the system I built for my wife.
My humble fledgling collection of 6sn7 tubes. Have a few more in transit but out of these those Raytheon VT231s are by far my favourite drivers especially with the Tungsol 6080 for my HD650.

What a nice person to gift you those. And RCA 6SL7's? Or Sylvania? Don't remember sending any RCA's, but then I don't remember what I had for dinner last night either...

RCA, I found those myself but you gave me lots of other tubes for the Cary, for a while there I collected some 6SL7 pairs. You gave me the Sylvania 6SN7W's and Raytheon, and CBS/Hytron. This was when my Freya plus kept going down and my tube tester was down, I needed some pairs I could count on and you were the man. Highs coming through the Freya and Cary combo are now to die for.
Speaking of 6sn7's, other than one table build I am about ready to modify a DarkVoice and make it so pretty, it will have to sound good.
The T Plates are available too but I did not get those simply coz I read here and else where that the T plates aren't as nice as the flat plates. Do you think they are worth trying I could get a pair within a week. I liked the flat plates Raytheons so much that I have 2 pairs as spare.

Personally, I like the T-plates more than the flat plates. But that's just me. Be interested to hear your thoughts if you get some T-plates to compare.

Take good care of those Ei's. Seems the price has gone up a tad:
Or, you could get a set of these Sovteks that the guy is trying to sell as Ei's a lot cheaper. Of particular hilarity is that "6550B Made in Russia" is silkscreened right on the bottle. Or the guy isn't aware that the former Yugoslavia was never part of Russia, or the USSR for that matter. Reading is so much work, apparently.

LOL! Never thought of it that way. My (new) job would be a lot easier if I didn't have to actually work. Into each life a little rain must fall, I suppose.
