I've got 'em all, I mean all types of 6CG7's. I've been rolling them in and out of my preamp (wired for 6SN7, using an adapter) for two weeks now. I have about 300 of these; as a few years ago when I started buying up large lots of NOS tubes, you couldn't give them away, and well, I didn't WANT to give them away. I don't know what's wrong with the 6CG7, and I'm surprised they don't get discussed more often, but then I don't understand the technicals about Rp, curves, and such, so maybe there is a reason. I, for one, find they are always better than the 6SN7 in the few places I have swapped them in. I thought the old RCA blackplates were good, the Raytheon black plates were better. But then I found a single pair of Toshiba blackplates, with long thin rectangular getters. To those that say a tube "can't" change the sound, well you have to hear this for yourself. I'm looking for more, and anyone having a nice pair, I'll triple your trade with the 6CG7 of your choice. They seem a bit rare. What changed is all the dynamics, soundstage, imaging, and detail. Actually, it seems a little too good to be true and i'm just hoping the delusion lasts a long, long time.
