Sylvania 6SN7 GTA 1950’s are my favorite. Sweet air and extraordinary midrange. Plenty available.
I tried RCA smoked glass, Ken RAD smoked glass, Sylvania Bad Boys, NP EH, Raytheon JANs.
Is your RCA labled as 6sn7 made in 1950’s?
Then I recommend you to get RCA vt 231 made in 40’s which will give more air and refined sound.
Sylvania vt231 also give lot of air but could sound lean lacking bass.
Tungsol bgrp vt231 also sounds nice as RCA vt 231 but over priced due to hype.
Amperex is a nice tube but not with good air.
Kenrad sounds bass heavy not much air.
I favor 6f8g tubes not for air but for fuller sound. By the way I had collected more than 100 different kinds of 6sn7 and variants for fun not for business.
I do not sell tubes.

@shkong78 , I just recently acquired the good fortune to have a few pairs to play with in the balanced input sockets of my SLP05. I am currently playing with a pair of National Unions and I was immediately grabbed by them. But now the jury is back to being out. I also had the good fortune of getting a pair of '52 Sylvania "Bad Boys" to roll in those slots, and I am not sure which I like best. |
