...but at that point I'd never even heard the term 'bad boys' to describe Sylvania 'N7s.
I tried MANY-dozens of 'N7 types. Before I discovered the TSRPs, I thought the Ken-Rad VT-231s were best overall--detailed, tonally balanced with a bit of warmth that I loved. The TSRPs did all of that a little better, and I started accumulating some. Ended up with perhaps a couple dozen and still have maybe 10 even tho I own nothing that uses them. If you'd like to try a pair, e-mail* me at jeffreybehr(at)cox(dot)net and we probably can arrange a loan.
* with something like 'Tube Asylum 6SN7s' in the subject line so I don't toss your message as trash.
