"unless you are willing and able to spend a LOT on a 6SN7 family tube - get the current stuff!"Long before the new 6SN7s were available, I began stockpiling NOS 12SN7s. I wanted to use NOS-quality tubes without spending a fortune and without worries regarding future availability. These were intended solely for use in my own designs, so filament voltage was unimportant. Ironically, the situation has now come full circle. New production 6SN7s are reputed to sound superb and prices are very reasonable. Meanwhile, sleeves of 12SN7s are almost non-existent, and prices have soared. So, for all the same reasons I had planned to design my equipment around 12SN7s, it now appears the 6SN7 will be the preferred tube. Ya just can't win...
