Can anyone recommend me a website that sells 6922 / 6DJ8 / 7DJ8 / 7308 tubes? Cheers.

There are some excellent dealers for 6922,6dj8 Upscale Audio has all those and Jmcshane@prodigy.ne tis also excellent for current production tubes where Upscale has more nOS. another good vendor is Tubemonger. They have all NOS tubes.

Those guys are super if your looking for new production buy the Genelex 6922 from Jim McShane . He matches them properly

Tubemonger.com is great. Highly recommended.

I've put an order on tubemonger, how long does it usually take for their goods to arrive?

Has anyone heard the GEC 6080WA ? How do they compare vs. GEC 6AS7G ?

 

[jc9394]

The GEC 6080WA is the best 6080 I ever heard, pairs very well with HD800.  Good all around tube for all genre but the GEC 6AS7G takes it to another level, it is like the extra 10% we are pushing.

How would you compare the GEC 6080WA vs TS 5998?

Thanks

Where could I find a matched GEC 6AS7G pair?
 
I bet the sound is incredible. 
 
I love my RCA 6AS7G (even more than the TS 5998)

i still have a pair of GEC 6080WA

GEC 6AS7G are found on ebay, those uk sellers, they can be pricy though, curved base pair for like 572$ and single straight bases for 200+ and 250 + for curved. they tend to sell singles more than pairs too.
 
i got 1 gec single left as well. i sold all my curved/straight pairs. so hard to find... seems like those UK sellers on ebay really control the market, i rarely see anyone else put any up for sale.
 
 
soundwise, i think GEC 6080WA are really nice, warm and less airy than 6AS7G instead of being open and airy, they tend to be warmer and more bodied almost like a tung sol but different, almost RCA like in some ways, but without that crappy treble those have.

I find the GEC 6AS7G a bit bright with the T90's, whereas the TS 5998 is warm & musical but feel I am loosing a bit of micro details (as compared to 6AS7G), will the GEC 6080WA be a middle ground between the 2 ?

I have a NOS matched pair for sale.  They are my favorite when I had WA22, at one time, I have 4 pairs.  Keeping the last NOS pair just incase I may get another 6080 amp and recently decided to go with 300B amp.

i think so.
 
GEC 6080WA might be around tung sol in detail, maybe a little more, its similar but warmer. it'll have nicer warm and more musicality than tung sol even, i don't think its as super detailed as 6as7g though. 
 
and beyerdynamic doesn't pair well with GEC 6AS7G, lacks bass and seems a little leaner to me. its more of an hd 800 tube.
 
i think the 6080 would be nice but dont remember how well it compares to 5998.
