In Reply to: European 6SN7s which one is nearest the American. posted by Mechans on June 6, 2015 at 14:06:17:
This excerpt is taken from Brent Jesse's website. So I would say CV1988
MULLARD, COSSOR, BRIMAR, and other British made NOS: Like a warm British jacket of the finest tweed, these glorious tubes have an attractive sweet warmth in their midrange and lower regions. The top end is silky and pleasant, without being rolled-off. The best of these tubes retain a fine sense of "air" at the top, and the upper midrange is smooth and liquid. These tubes reproduce the human voice, especially female voices, with haunting realism. Found both in ECC33 and CV1988 versions, sometimes with the CV1988 types merely labeled as 6SN7GT. Very rare in the USA but a very rich sonic treat to listen to.
