RE: RCA RED BASE 5692

Your characterization of the sound of those you mentioned is spot-on with my personal experience too. I used 6SN7's for years as drivers in my old Counterpoint amp. No longer have the Counterpoint, but my trio of "as good as it gets", at least for me, was the 52' Syl, NU GG's, and the TSRP. If forced to pick only one of the three, I think it'd be the NU GG. It was the most top to bottom balanced of the three in my amp. The only real stinker for me of those you mentioned was the KenRad. Fat, slow, bloated, boring is the way I'd describe them. But then one mans meat is anothers poison.
