It's a toss up between the 6F8G TS RP and NUs for me. It comes down to personal preference, I think. Both are superb, but the NU adds more to the sound with a sweetness that does great things, particularly for vocals. If you prefer a more neutral presentation, or you already have plenty added to the sound from other tubes in the mix, then the TS RP might be a better choice.
Thanks for chiming in Tony. Glad the NU's worked out fine.
Mine should be here any day now and are likely from the same batch. So all should be good.
Have you tried the Sylvania 6F8G yet? I wonder how that stacks up?
From what I have listened to there seems to be two different levels and the TS and NU are at the top. The two RCA variants are nice (nicer than the 6SN7's) however not in the same game.
