guys I have the triangle arts amps that came with the NOS rca 6sn7 which sound good BUT would like a little more air to the top end- what is the best ones out there- i have read about the Popes but mostly with cary preamps- any thoughts would be appreciated- thks
Read what Brent Jesse says about the GE short bottle side getter. Also, there’s comments like this on other websites about this tube. Appears to be champagne taste on a beer budget. Have a friend that tried a pair and they stopped him rolling tubes.
Ok- since there seems to be a lot of Fake tubes out there I want to get them from a trusted source- Brent and Andy at Vintage tubes seem to get alot of good press- Is that where I should go or any other sources that are recommended- thanks for the advice- On a side question the amps run on 4 -KT88's per side- Do these make a difference or are they just there for power??- thanks for the education!!!
It's all personal preference and own the tubes mentioned except the Tung-Sol, but the Sylvania VT-231, Sylvania Chrome Dome or Ken-Rad will give you great results at a reasonable price.
Also, the Ruby or Golden Voice KT88s are very good which I own and other brands as well but for the price these are more lively and open sounding and my favorite :)
