You are looking for a platinum matched tubes which are balance in Gm & Ip, non-microphonic and very low noise.It's worth the money if your gear is in push pull configuration,but if it's in cascade,you just need a very low noise and non-microphonic.
6SN7 tube question
Hello,
I need to replace the tubes in my Rogue 99 line preamp, which uses the 6SN7 tube. I was looking at an online seller who offers the following options with an affordably priced 6SN7 for a few dollars extra:
1. Balanced Triodes
2. High Gain
3. Low Noise and Microphonics
4. Matching
Options 3 and 4 seem most desirable for a preamp. My question is whether it is worth the extra few dollars (approx. $6 per tube) or is it just a pure marketing ploy to get suckers like me to drop more dough?
