6L6 are all over the place for sale. Brand new and matched, about 115 for a matched set of 8. DON'T buy them.
IF they are Solvex, (the older solvex) it is night and day in sonics, and how long they will last, they are outstanding.
The old GE and RCA, metal cover 7581 valve.. serious valve there, super high plate voltage. REAL high, and will stand up..
The 115 sets of 8..LOL Just a bad place to even start.. :-(
WHY? Out of over 150 valves I bought in 3 lots, none of them were at 50% of the TRUE industrial 7581. Closer to 15-30% NEW.. OK, NEW..
Just under a year ago I listened to an MC240 every day for just under 3 years. I used industrial, RCA 6L6 mil/spec metal tube.. They still have 50% wear left on them.. I took the amp down for it's first EVER major service.
This is so fun, chompin' on my turkey sandwich. :-)
