In Reply to: Schiit Freya + ordered: any suggestions for 6SN7 tubes? posted by Feanor on July 29, 2020 at 04:42:02:
As an aside, with an adapter, you can also use a 6F8G. The 6F8G is identical electrically to the 6SN7 except that it uses a grid wire and grid cap (thus the adapter). The adapters are easily built or bought off the Bay. Having multiple tube types gives you a lot more options.
The usual suspects include: National Union grey glass, TungSol round plate, and the '52 Sylvania.
All of those are also available in a 6F8G format.
The RCA VT231 is a great tube for small/acoustical ensemble, but would not be a good choice for large-scale orchestral music. The Sylvania VT231 might be worth experimenting with too. I'd stay away from KenRad VT231. Overly bass heavy and rather thick and slow sounding.
Have fun rolling, and I hear that Schiit is some good shit.
