Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Actually, certain TV sweep tubes are the bomb!


The deHavilland 845 amp uses the 6AV5GT in triode. Prior versions
of their amp used new production 6L6/5881/KT66 stuffs. So, if deHavilland is using this tube - something is sonically jiggy
with it. ;)

The 6W6GT is also a TV sweep tube. Strapped as a triode it is
THE BOMB. Read the whole link below for the tip-off. I'm using
these for my own 845 amp and it outpaces just about everything. The
closest best thing is the Saratov KT66, triode strapped. The Saratov
is 10x the price. :)

There are other triode-oriented sweep tubes, the 6BX7 was one,
the 6EM7/10EM7 is another one. ;)
