lOL guys! next time i come i will take some preorders
I swap out my TS 6SN7 BGRP with TS 6F8G earlier today and found out the sound is almost the same. I can't believe it, this is crazy. The 6F8G is at least half the price if not 1/3 of TS BGRP. I should find it I can find another pair.

A TS 6SN7 BGRP is just a TS 6F8G RP put in i newer smaller GT type tube. The 6F8G is the origanal all TS did was put the insides of a 6F8G in the newer GT tube
and renamed it 6SN7.

I thought the 12SN7s are quite different than the 6SN7s.
This is very interesting. Just to say it back to see if I understand it and its implications. If we get the adapters we can start using the TS 6F8G RP which is the same as the 6SN7 BGRP?
A pair of GEC 6AS7G's!
Yes thay are identical but you can also use a National Union 6F8G RP that might sound better than the Tung-Sol
Glenn, do you make adapter for 6F8G to 6DE7?
I thought my woo buddies would appreciate this - there is a small vacuum tube vendor in Akihabara in Tokyo that I visited yesterday. The selection of NOS tubes this guy has is absolutely insane. Some are very attractively priced, and some are not - seems to vary widely. I did get a good price on a 5AR4 that is Siemens branded but is 100% for sure Mullard Blackburn. Feast your eyes on this shop (this is about half of it):
