Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular


If you run 6l6/EL34 variants, I HIGHLY recommend trying this tube out.  The Tung Sol 7581A reissue.  I've had these for a good bit of time and compared them against KT150s, EL34s (several brands), KT88s, and maybe another that I'm forgetting.  They are a mere $30 a pop and they are the best tube I have heard. I know that's a brave bold statement to make as there is so much competition out there and the tube is very much under the radar from what I can tell.  

After having these around for a long time (and in and out of the amp), I had them in and was nearly spellbound one night by how great they sounded upon reentry into my amp.  I did a search and could only find one review, which I agree wholeheartedly with.  You can find it here: https://wallofsound.ca/audioreviews/amplification/6l6-vacuum-tube-review-tubes-courtesy-of-www-thetu...

I am nearly incredulous there isn't hype out there about this tube.  Simply my favorite tube.  I thought I'd pass this along as it may be much cheaper to give them a whirl then fuss with a much more expensive power cord, cable, or other tweak.

Your setup looks good.What PL integrated is tube integrated? I thought the preamp was the only model tube rectified.

I use the old RCA 6L6G lower power, big bottles in my PL HP.

Maybe "rectified" is the wrong word?  I only know enough to be dangerous sometimes...
@tablejockey 
7591 is a 19 watt tube with different pin layout from a 30watt 6L6/EL34/7581.
Anyone try  TS 7581A’s in a Music Reference RM9?  RM9 accepts KT66, EL34 and KT88's... so not sure if the Tung Sol 7581 is compatible.
