In Reply to: RE: Sonic differences of 6SN7 Tung Sol round plate vs Sylvania "Bad Boy" posted by wood1 on April 27, 2014 at 09:47:17
...but at that point I'd never even heard the term 'bad boys' to describe Sylvania 'N7s.
I tried MANY-dozens of 'N7 types. Before I discovered the TSRPs, I thought the Ken-Rad VT-231s were best overall--detailed, tonally balanced with a bit of warmth that I loved. The TSRPs did all of that a little better, and I started accumulating some. Ended up with perhaps a couple dozen and still have maybe 10 even tho I own nothing that uses them. If you'd like to try a pair, e-mail* me at jeffreybehr(at)cox(dot)net and we probably can arrange a loan.
* with something like 'Tube Asylum 6SN7s' in the subject line so I don't toss your message as trash.

Agreed 100%..I have not found anything that comes close to the TS round plates...I have 7 of them but some are bit microphonic when used in a preamp phono section.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.
...have such different opinions of the Solen FastCap in PS use.
:-)
Isn't it wonderful that we have so many good choices?!

I don't like the smaller solens but the bigger ones are decent especially when you bypass them with a nice paper in oil..I think you may like SonicCap Plats as that is one of my favorites.When you going to try some of these kbgs?

...the highest-value 600VDC KBG was 4uF, way too small for its size in my chassis.

I was thinking of a bypass or a coupling cap..What values do you need?
