RE: 6P3S-E tubes

Hi Don:
I am using them in a Rogue Audio Stereo 90 amp.Preamp is a modified Audio Research SP14.Source is a J.A, Micheel Orbe/Tecnoarm/Benz M2 and speakers are Totem Hawks. All wiring is Kimber.
The Stereo 90 comes with EH KT88 and was designed for KT88/6550 but can also take EL34,KT66. When I asked Mark at Rogue about 6L6 and EL37 he said he wasn't sure the amp could run those and to be careful. Well I have run 6P3S-E, RCA Blackplate 6L6GC, Tung-Sol 6L6GC-STR,GEC KT66 all with no problem.I have also run GL KT88 re-issue,Mullard XF2 EL34, JJ KT77.
I am drawn to the 6L6/KT66 sound. To me it seems more linear and dynamic than the KT88 sound.More focused, less romanticly tube-like. But I can certainly see how other people could feel differently. Like you said, it all depends on system synergy.
Best Regards,
David
