Re: Music in a bottle: 6H30-Pi

24.4.254.155

>>I really liked the 6N1P ... I imagine you could pound on that little tube for hours and you still wouldn't get any microphonics.

I was just recently playing with an amp with a 6N1P driving a 300B. The 300B output made more output noise when thwacked than the 6N1P, even though it was the driver stage. Excellent tube for microphonics!

Any sense if the 6H30Pi is equally silent when kicked?

Incidentally, I am guessing the H is a Cyrillic N, and that 6H1Pi or 6N30P are equally valid. We seem to have an odd mix of transliterations in this business! Is the H or N an indicator that the tube is a dual triode? I note that there are some 6Cxx tubes (or 6S) which are single tubes - the 6C33B and the 6C45 come to mind. Does anybody know?
