I didn't like the sylvania 229s in the cardinals(loved them in the Moth). I much prefer 6188s.:-)

Gordon supplies the amps standard with the 6188s. They're nice, but I prefer the brown base Sylvania WGTs over the 6188s. Played around with these tubes for a long time and decided that my faves were:
1. Tungsol brown or black base, black bottle 6sl7gt/VT-229
2. Raytheon VT-229
3. Ken Rad VT-229
4. Sylvania WGTs and VT-229s
5. in no particular order....RCA 6sl7gt, GE VT-229, Raytheon 6sl7GT,
6188s, 6su7s, Sylvania 6sl7gt, Tungsol flat plate GTs, Hytron 5691
Haltron ECCs, Brimar CVs, and
20. red base 5691s....real surprise here
I'm sure everyone has their faves! Which is what makes this hobby fun. Still....I got my lifetime supply of Tungsols!
Anyone got a 2nd "metal" Sylvania 6sl7w? To trade or sell. Got one lonely tube waiting to get plugged in.
Hey, can you believe that the octal tube socket is still tight? My one year old still can't pull the tube out!!
