Re: 12sn7gt tubes

The 6SN7 family is one of the most debated types; I was offering my opinion. Many disagree-- this is what makes this a great forum. Though I rarely would admit it, I like the early 1960s GE 6SN7GTB with a square punch-hole on one side of the top-mica and a round punch hole on the other side. These are a $5-$10 tube. After I posted, I realized that the 12SX7 isn't really all that special; I just thought that for simplicity "get the 1940s RCA-CRC 12SX7" was simpler than detailing many types. I love Sylvanias too, and I REALLY love the grey-glass RCA VT231 ca. 1943--- the longplate Mullard 12AU7 in octal form.
