In Reply to: 6av5 as triode? Redux posted by Steve O on July 9, 2005 at 19:58:55:
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. ;)-- Jim
