Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre


I was just wondering which 6SN7 tube you guys with Rogue 99 Magnum pre's are using. I have been using Sylvania VT 231's and the BAD BOYS with great results, are there any others?

Yes I bought it used, I have had it for 2 years now and am very happy with it. I still have the Philips tubes just never tried them.
My Magnum came with Electro Harmonix tubes. Think it was 3-4 years old when I bought it. (store demo) Guess they switched. The EHs aren't that bad for new stock. Not as quiet (or detailed) as the Sylvania NOS in there now, but not bad. I know from speaking with Mark O'Brian at Rogue that he was never really happy with the EHs. Top notch company to buy from. Mark can put up with my constant questions! New NOS for the phono stage coming! Diana Krall is singing in my living room. Awesome.
The switch was probably because the supply of new Philips tubes dried up. They were military tubes from the 1980's.

Blue Circle was using them also in the BC21 preamp and BC2 mono blocks.
I got Electro Harmonix with my Rogue99 Magnum. I used them side by side with some Sylvania chrome domes Mark obrian sold me and they sounded fine. I'm running Crome domes side by side now and its great. Thinking about trying some Ken Rads or Raytheon VT-231's next. Anyone wanna comment on that?
I tried the Electro Harmonix ( bought from Upscale) in my 99 Magnum and they were micro phonic as hell. Nothing I tried would quiet them down. I bought new ones from Mark o Brien and they are fine. I honestly dont remember what brand they are though...
