Can you tube afficionados direct me to reputable, reliable sources for 6SN7 tubes? I want to try some different tubes in my Wyetech Opal Pre, to see how sound changes. Thank you.
Try the new Tung-Sol 6SN7 re-issues from Russia. You can get them at any of the big tube-sellers like Tube Depot. I have had then in my Supratek for about 40 hours of on-time so far and I LOVE them. In my system, they have most of the dynamics and slam of the Electroharmonix tubes, but with a much smoother and more accurate treble. By far the best new issue 6SN7s in my opinion.
As Ait says, the re-issue TS now being sold are superb. It is identical in construction to the EH but is much improved. In fact, I like these as much as the syl 1952 bad boys. Smooth with great extension. I got my matched pair from BOI audio works, good price and they are very quiet.
