Finally, someone has alluded to it. Perhaps, just perhaps, the 6H30 is not capable of the desired sonics. I have read countless posts and opinions about this tube - even technically well-implemented, I doubt I could ever love it.Like any tube, its sound can be mitigated (obscured?) by judicious component selection. Although acceptable presentation may be achievable in this manner, I don't believe musical greatness is achieved by trying to balance sonic extremes.

If its audio characteristics had these inherent flaws? I've never heard a unit that used the 6N30P. Only heard a couple Aikido that used 6N30P-DR tubes. They sounded pretty good to me. Maybe, the -DR versus plain 6N30P is a big difference?
I'd convert the unit to used the 6CG7, if the 6N30P has all these ultrasonic and IMD issues.
I'm not saying the 6H30 is flawed, more that I doubt I'd like its sonic signature. Preferences are personal and varied; there are plenty of components I might like to listen through and plenty I don't.The DR version would probably be more to my liking - if I had to use the 6H30 that is what I'd be paying for. Still, if I were designing a component from scratch for personal use that needed a ~mu 20 tube, I'd be using something different.
