RE: New production 6L6/KT66?

Hi:

I have used the TS 6L6G in a TAD 60. Great tube. Strong bass, detailed mids, and good treble. From your description of the TS 6L5GC STR I would say these two tube are very simular sounding. Though for me the bass seemed to even out over time. Unfortunately one of them red plated within a year. I went back to my GL KT66s. One other person's account I read on the Tube Store's site is that he had 3 out of 4 tubes go bad. Any way the TS 6L6G bias like EL34s in the TAD 60. 350-370. You may need to check with Rogue about the Chinese KT66s. I think they may have different electical specs than other KT66s. I had NOS Chinese KT66s and the bias was at the very end of the bias range in the TAD 60. I Think the GL KT66 in a great tube, and I doubt you will find a better one from that list. IMVHO. I ran my amp in triode mode.

Good luck.
Michael
