Researching tubes

« on: July 09, 2009, 04:06:42 PM »

I did a search on tubes for and OTS and found various suggestions so I know this has been asked and probably reasked again.

I've had recomendations for Tunsol 5881's as I've only heard good things about those. On another forum some one highly recomended Jan-phillips 6L6WGB

On this forum I saw someone listed Tube Amp Doctor 6L6WGC as being great tubes. Has anyone else tried these?
Are there any that you suggest I NOT get?

Here is what I have on hand for pre-amp tubes and I'll probably use these:

V1 - vintage Mullard 12AX7
V2 - Vintage Mullard 12AX7
V3 - Mesa Boggie 12AX7 (the only other one I have on hand).

i've heard mullard reissues sound great in the OTS so real vintage one coundnt sound worse.

i dont have any suggestions on powertubes, still searching for that magic set.
anyway i had amazing results on the clean channel with an old Ei 12AX7
and the JJ ECC803s tubes are supposed to be great in the PI as long as you get balanced triodes it has long plate structure. This over sized plate structure improves details in the bass and low mid-range responses.

I just swapped out the stock tubes with a pair of svetlana 6L6's, a bit smoother, more vintage sounding. Just Fyi these are the real russian made ones
