Tubes Harsh? Huh?
I’ve used Tubes since 1973, 47 years, harshness never entered my ears.
always in the 30-35-45 wpc size (4 power tubes total)
Fisher Mono Blocks 80Z (EL37, substitutes)
Fisher Receiver 500C; 800C (7591, substitutes)
Current Cayin A88T 6550 or KT88
I think I put EL34’s in the Fisher Mono’s, -5 wpc, a vauge memory
Fisher’s used lots of 12...
Cayin uses 6....
Other Cayin’s now use 12 ....
I found both the pre 6’s and the Power tubes brands definitely sounded dirrerent/preferrable, but none sounded harsh.
I’m thinking I like the 6.... better than the 12 ....
