oops.... guess I wasn't specific in my post... I tend to cause confusion with my writing, moreso than clearing things up... the phillips I have tried are the 6sn7gt, late vintage.... I believe jackG said that they came stock with his Wright sound preamp and amp?? I'm not sure of the vintage, but I believe they were late seventies or early eighties... they were terrible compared to the others I have in my collection... I haven't tried a 5692 in my preamp yet....have looked into them, but haven't bit the bullet and picked a set up yet....I don't think I will get the RCA's red base... they sound like a total mismatch for what I want to do with my system and they are ridiculously expensive.... I may have to pick up a set of the phillips from angela if they are that cheap....I can't agree with you more that different tubes do different things in different gear... and it has a lot to do with what is downstream and upstream of the component in question as well.... I can change my perspective of what the 6sn7s are doing by changing the driver and output tubes in my power amp..... I have also been using 6 different types of cables... but most of these impressions are also reinforced by listening with headphones... they seem to carry over a lot of the same characteristics.... so i felt they might be valid, or at least a good starting reference point.... however, i can't agree with you about no tube is bad.... I can't see how the chinese could be considered good in any system... not after having some good vintages in my system..... but let's not even bring up the subject of the ears we use to listen... they are the biggest variable to overcome.... what is well balanced to you is overly bright to me..... viscous downward spiral we don't need to get into....
I promise not to do a drive by on ya... don't own a gun so you are pretty safe in that regard....scares the crap out of me that any moron can get one here in the US though.....but that's a subject not suited to this board.....
what have you tried for 6sn7/5692??? curious of your impressions with your gear....
