My wild guess was TS. Are you positive?

Yes, 100% sure. Have some pairs myself.

 

[triod750]

100% is pretty good. Who could ask for more? Do you like them?

Yes, I get to roll them in a rotation with many other tubes. Just different presentation...I like them all. Tubes I dont like sit deep down in the wooden box...lol

Actually, have 7 pairs and selling 3 pairs NIB military box. Sold one pair a couple of weeks ago to a nice fellow here, 2 pairs left.
Update: My apology, gentlemen, the last 2 pairs have gone to another fellow here. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Did the front page (extremely useful) list ever get updated? I’ve often referred back to it when looking for NOS tubes, but it’s approaching 20 years old now and there’s undoubtedly been some good finds since.

I wish the thread would be retitled as the twin triode thread. We talk about so many different ones beyond 6sn7. There is also another 6sn7 thread (6sn7 fanatics?) that doesn’t get posted to as often but I think they stick to 6sn7.

Tested at Va=180, Vg=-2.0

Those are some gorgeous tubes!!!

Lol...actually, I have these 3 pairs with all same construction n date code. If someone really wanted all, I will consider selling them in one lot.

Any input on this/these questions would be appreciated.

Lets assume you have an amp that is 1x 6SN7 -> 1x 6AS7. Both heater currents added together on typical tubes would be 3.1 amps (0.6a for 6SN7 and 2.5a for 6AS7). Lets say one wanted to use tubes that were rated for pulling more amps. For the sake of argument, let's say the additional load was going to be about another 0.9 amps, so about 4 amps total instead of the 3.1 amps.

If you're unable to get official documentation on what the transformer can handle, what does one need to be monitoring while they are running the tubes pulling the additional load in order to come to a conclusion if its safe? Would we just need to be monitoring the temperature within the amp, or is there something/anything else one should/could be monitoring?

Might notice the pungent aroma of transformer windings as they melt into the big smoke of thermionic destiny.

Before that check the temp of the transformer by hand - but only if it's not glowing.

What amp is it and what set of tubes? Pair of 6BX7s and a 6N7?

Eufonika H5 .. wanted to try a single 6BL7 (and 6BX7) as the input with 6AS7 as output for more than 1 minute because of paranoia lol.. from what I did hear, it sounds quite good. Just don't want to turn the amp into paperweight.

 

[LobalWarming]

It'll be fine. Mine is. And I've done worse. Wieslaw gives us a little bit of headroom - just enough to allow for 'experiments'.

But, one thing to remember... never use a single 6BX7 as input with a single 6BX7 output. It's like never crossing the streams in GB or thermionic incest.

That and it doesn't sound as good as 6SN7/pair of 6J5s driving a single 6BX7 output.. Enjoy the 6BX7 as output. One of the best, imo.

Do you have the basic H5 or Miflex?

Have the Miflex version. I do enjoy it! Once I get some of the 6BX7 tubes in ill certainly give that a try. Right now only have 6BL7s on hand, but have a few 6BX7 tubes on the way.
