In Reply to: What kind of sound are you going for? posted by astralpen on April 12, 2007 at 10:07:32:
I own an extensive 6SN7/VT231 collection, so what I'm looking for is along the lines of:Smooth, warm detailing of Kenrad VT231 combined with airy sparkle and speed of Sylvania VT231 with a little bit of Sylvania metal base 6SN7GT midrange purity thrown in. I don't particularly care for seeminly-neutral, yet uninteresting sound of Tung Sol roundplates. I also hate the languid swamp that is RCA 5692 Red Base.
Impossible, I know, so I ended up using National Union Gray glass 6SN7, which I love for its rich, detailed, magically textured mids, but it could use a little more treble air and transparency.
So, what do you think will match my tastes in 6SL7 arena?
