TAD 6L6WGC-STR - close to GE's? Anybody use them in audio?

Posted by Paul Kehayas (A) on November 8, 2015 at 04:58:59

Hello!
I am running an MC240 and some old GE's - I have experimented with RCA Blackplates and also the newish Tung-Sol (New Sensor) 6L6G coke bottle tubes. (they bested the RCAs!)

I am interested in the opinions of those who have used the TAD 6L6WGC-STR tubes (or even the 6L6GC-STR ones) in their audio amps and compared them to the tubes they are supposed to emulate. (the GE's in the first instance and the RCA's in the second).

I am a firm believer that there has to be SOMETHING out there that comes close - I already like the Tung-Sols better than the RCA's (too glary and harsh in the uppers to me) so I know that it is possible.

What say others?

Hopefully there are some of you who have had experience or might be curious as I am - what's to lose?

(certainly not the amp - these are supposed to be built like tanks!)
