I suggest that you call Andy at "Vintage Tube Services", he has the equipment to properly test tubes and can sell you tubes that are not micro-phonic. He can also tell you which brands hold up the best and the differences between them. After all tubes are his business. Good Luck!
TUBE NOOB: WHAT BRAND
I am looking for a really unusual tube. In one of my previous posts I had a couple of audiogon members point out a few good sites and I was able to locate some for sale. My initial problem was not finding any, now I have too many to chose from.
The tube: 6CL8A/6CL8
Brands available: RCA, GE, Sylvania, Tung Sol..etc.. quite a few.
I know nothing about this other than I want the best one possible. I would like one that minimizes microphonics and that sounds like tube heaven, help me out. Thanks a million guys.

Yeah anyways. I get it but your taking up a lot of forum space. We all get it, we know your opinion is that there is nothing to know about tubes just try them all and don't ask questions. Lets leave some space for others to answer the question so that people in the future who run into this dilemma will be able to use this thread without having to sift through pages of you defending yourself. |
Most of us that have been in the hobby and have tried tubes before already know about Andy at Vintage Tube Service. This is what I am referring to when I say to do some research by using the internet. Here is another tube site for you ( right now they are closed ): https://www.tubeworld.com/index_high.htm |
