National Union 6SN7--me like!

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

The ones with the black glass about 2/3 of the way down the tube. I have had these for a while but never really gave them much use. They were always in the "thick and rich" pile of 6sn7s, and my go too tubes in that catagory are the RCA VT-231 grey glass and RCA 5692. I generally prefer the faster, more detailed 6sn7s for drivers in my amp like the Sylvania "badboys", Sylvania 6sn7W, and Tung Sol tallboys.
Well these National Union tubes rock! Not as rich sounding as the grey glass RCA but more neutral sounding still with great tone. Full bass,clean mids, nice shimmer up top. Perfect compliment to the EI KT 90 output tubes in my amp, been in there for almost a month. A great tube.
Only problem is that it is getting tough to find good samples. If you find some good ones grab them!
