I just begun the long and winding road to tube heaven - doing my first rolling experiment with some tubes I've gathered.
6n23-EB
6N1P-EB
stock Philips Jan's.
First up - I'm surprised to find that despite pretty much unanimous rejection of the stock Jan's across the web - I like them better than the others I tried! Am I losing the plot? The 6N23-EB's which I expected to be easily the best - I liked least. They had more bass, (almost too much) but I didn't like what they did to the mids and highs. In fact I didn't like them at all. The 6N1P-EB's had potential but I'm too frightened to leave them in until I get a better power supply. What would happen if I left them in with the stock supply?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on that lot, and secondly, where would you suggest I go next? Can you recommend something else thats easily obtainable and not too expensive for me to try? (I've not been able to source Mullards at all, and I can't find the much vaunted 6N23P-EB at a decent price either).
Your input appreciated,
Pluck
