I have the same selection of NOS to include WGTB and RCA 5692 and in a previous Modwright Sony 5400 CD Player which utilizes 6SN7s, the CV 181-Z walked all over my NOS tubes; not even close...

@ porscheracer It's all circuit dependent and my NOS tubes smoked the CV-181Z in my Line Magnetic SET Integrated Amp. A good thing for us is that we do not have to go out and procure these treasures, just choose the ones that best represents our listening pleasure. The CV-181Z are quite special if used in the right circuit and this has been talked about by some serious tubes critics over the years. http://www.tnt-audio.com/accessories/shuguang_treasures_cv181_e.html Wig |
