I'm looking to better my Ken Rad VT-107a,s which are very nice sounding, with decent bass,sweet with a slightly recessed midrange, and my Shunngun 6v6gt's, have slightly better and probably deeper bass and are more forward, which I like. Neither tube is bright or excessively strident in the treble, which I like. I cannot tolerate excess treble energy, brightness! So I'm looking to improve on bass power and extention of the two tubes I have now..., which are pretty good in this reguard. Both the Westinghouse 7408 an the ge are said to have fab bass, one report of a somewhat recessed midrange in the Westinghouse. Any thoughts from 6v6 affisianotos(sp)?? The TSRI tubes were too lean for my taste. Thanks, Tweaker

This may sound heretical but have you tried the JJ 6V6? They take 4ever to burn in but are ballsy. I have JJ 6CA7's in a TRK 3488 amp and they are pretty darn good and cheap. I got cryos from Cryoset.
"I'm looking to improve on bass power and extention of the two tubes I have."
There is only so much tube rolling can do regarding the above. The amp has to be capable of delivering the bandwidth etc.
Setdude, Well of course that would be true to some extent. Your comment does not preclude the fact that different tubes have way different characteristics in every aspect, including bass.
Yes they do but there are limits to what a given amp can provide by rolling tubes. If an amp has 'average' transformers etc. you will not be able to improve bass beyond a certain point.
Tweaker,
I got good bass from the TS RI's in my Decware Mini Torii. I'm sorry they did not work for you.
So am I. They are very clear and focused, but
My point is that you may have reached the maximum bass your amp can provide.
Setdude, I have listened to 3 different tubes. 2 of the three have much deeper and better bass in my situation than the TSRI's. How could it be that out of all the 6v6-708 tubes in the whole wide world that there would not be better tubes than the two I have with decent bass. The GE 7408 the HK- Syl 7408 and thePhillips miniwatt 6v6 all are reported to have vg bass. Tweaker
Ever try the Raytheon brown base JAN 6V6GTY? Good bass and warm mids. Tough tube. Hard to find GOOD NOS. Tungsol black plate 6V6GTA is a good tube, too.
Fenderlover, I assume your comments refer to audio and not guitar?? Would you say the Rays and TS nos have deeper bass than the Shunguag and or Ken Rad VT-107a, if thats within your experiance? Thanks, Tweaker
