In Reply to: RE: Sonic differences of 6SN7 Tung Sol round plate vs Sylvania "Bad Boy" posted by bcguitar on April 28, 2014 at 19:28:48
Funny that you should post this now as I have just spent the last 5 hours down in the basement adjusting and tweaking on the 2 monoblocs from my main rig. While working I also used the time to do some tube rolling thru my 2nd rig. I've just reconfirmed what I already knew : That the "bad boys" just blow away the others and I have what I consider a representative spread. RCA grey glass CRC-USN 1942, Sylvania VT-231 1950 and Sylvania WGT 1952 are the main ones and none come anywhere close except the Syl VT-231's and then only from the belt up. In fact while the bad boys have it all over everything else in bottom end I prefer the top end of the bad boys to that of the VT-231's by a smidge. I'd just like to see what all the hype is about and see if I do like the Tung Sols any better, if not then I won't look back.
When I got my Juicy Music Peach 2 I went thru a LOT of E88CC's, all the way up to and including the 7l3 Amperex pinched waist and settled on the Heerlen produced 7l3 and 7l4 tall bottles with d-getters because while the PW were a little nicer in my rig,they were a LOT MORE money and not worth it to me. I'd like to find out if this is the case with the TSRP or if there really is something special about them

It can be improved considerably. The '52 Sylvania 6SN7GT can be improved by wrapping the transformer with mumetal, using Xtreme AV Quicksilver Gold contact enhancer and by employing Herbies Tube dampers. Just saying.

You weren't talking about improving the tube, you were talking about improving the environment the tube is living in.
This is why I don't allow the power supply to live on the same chassis with gain tubes.
