Schiit's solid-state 6SN7

@harpo75, no doubt you're right. Although one can get JJs and the superior Tung-Sol 6SN7s (whose price has more than doubled in six months), it's a struggle finding NOS or Electro Harmonix (now PSVane). I have been sent dud tubes from two different dealers. Replacements take forever and are never matched. So yeah, I'm giving the new plugs a try & will report any findings of interest.

@harpo75,

 I think you're right.

I didn't know about the SS or the 6n1p variant (found this shootout via Google).

@dekay thanks for sharing

Tried them a few years ago on my (original) Freya.  They sounded more like the SS setting than the tube setting with tubes, imo.  If you're after that "tube magic" stick with tubes.
