Russian 1587 tubes

Hi guys,

I have tried many different 6sn7 tubes even the Tungsol
round plate (known as the "Holy Grail" of tubes) but I
have now found the best - Russian Military 1587 -
These tubes are incredible the best of the best my system
now sounds so good everything is real and life even my
German shepeard thought that there was a fly buzzing around last night (me too for a few seconds) These tubes deliver everything, soundstage, presence, air, detail, warmth, life,
beautiful tight deep bass and the range is limitless -
I am using Cary 306 professional to DBX to Cary 300 SEI to
Tannoy 15" Berkleys with Tannoy ST-200 super tweeters.
Inter-connects are all Tyr balanced and Tyr Speaker biwired
speaker cables. Power cords are all Lessloss -
I hope that this is good info for all you tubies.

Larry, I had been planning to try Ken Rad and am considering purchase from ebay below. Is this type of tube what you recommend?

The 1578 is far inferior to the TS RP. No contest. Not even close.

My TS RP is also microphonic and it still beats the living snot out of the 1578.

End of story.

"beats the living snot out of..."

Now that's splitting hairs.

Paul,

I bet the fly buzzing around was a real live fly and not the sound coming off your system. The 1578 is a piece of .... next to the TS RP.

Are you really sure you are listening to a TS RP when you A/B the two tubes???????

My Sylvania W Metal beats the pants off the Russian tube.
