Sorry to bump an older thread. I stumbled upon it while trying to research some questions. I have a Baldwin 6L6 tube amp that I can't find much information on.
Here are the current tubes in the amp.
3 12AU7 tubes
2 Harmon Kardon 7408(6V6GT)tubes
2 Baldwin 6L6GB tubes
1 Baldwin 54UGB tube
Max Robinson from funwithtubes.net was nice gent who responded to my inquiries very quickly & suggested that my amp should be running with 4 6L6 tubes rather than the split I have now.
I've been listening to this tube amp for some time now with the current tube complement and I really do enjoy it. It is matching well with a pair of KEF 103/3 speakers I have along with an Accuphase C-200 preamp.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on a quad of 6L6GB tubes vs a pair of 6L6GB and 6V6GT tubes sound quality wise? Is the 6V6GT tube close to a 6L6GB tube in terms of SQ? Would I be gaining a lot by going to a quad of 6L6GB tubes?
The reason I ask is that I can't find any other info on the Baldwin tube amp I have and I have no idea on how to rebias it should I want to change power tubes. That and I don't know if the current tube complement I have is what is meant for it. As of right now I don't have the funds to take it to a quality tech for review. Also a wallet friendly matching NOS quad of 6L6GB tubes is hard to find too.
Thanks in advance.
