6L6 or variant

Well actually Dared has a 6V6 based amp. I have never listened to it or read any reviews, so I have no idea of it's quality. Seems though 6V6 tubes are not so available. 5881-6L6 etc are quite abundant still in NOS. And if one switched from integrated and desired to run them in a amp-preamp setup, there are few outfits that have amps to accomidate this. I was also curious about the offerings from the new Tung-Sol line. Supposedly these tubes are slowly improving? They also offer 6L6 as well as KT66.

I think the GEC KT66 is safely out of my range at this point. And even if I did have a set, I would then miss them when they were gone. Ignorrance is bliss :)

Kt-88....I just looked at those amps. They get to 20 watts, instead of the usual 10 watts, by using four 6V6 output tubes. I am sure that performance is limited by the small audio output transformer. A substitute would not fit on the chassis unless the power transformer, and perhaps other parts of the power supply, were put on an outboard chassis. An interesting project for someone.
