WTD: 6SN7 pair

[Lawrence001]

In fine tuning my system to the new speakers I've finally found a use for my Yaqin CD3 buffer which takes these octals. I'd quite like to try some other valves, preferably NOS but am open to other good ones. I currently have EH ones fitted.

I'm sure I have a pair of unused TAD's in a drawer somewhere that I planned to use with an amp that I then sold.

If I have you can have them half price if you're interested?

Actually I just discovered that I have a couple of types of 6SN7s;

Tube AMP Doctors

Full Music 6SN7s x 4 (maybe 4 hundred hours)

Think we talked on Facebook. I wanted the Sylvanias. Thanks anyway.

These came originally in my Canary Audio Amps from new and I find them very good and they are cheap.:) I get the ones marked with OTK on the base as they are military graded spec.

Thanks I'm actually watching a late pair on ebay but wanted some earlier ones these look better.

Don't know if you tried them but Sophia electric Royal princess were the best I ever had.

[Lawrence001]

I haven't but that reminds me I've got some Shuguang black treasure CV181s somewhere I should dig out.

Are they T2s? If so could you bring to the BO next Sunday, would like to try in place of the T1s I currently have in my 845 monos.

how do the black treasures compare to russion 6sn7?

Yep I know, so are mine, but should have it marked on the base rings.

how do the black treasures compare to russion 6sn7?No comparison I'd say although I haven't compared to the Meltz. IIRC they had a modern very transparent sound and let skill the detail through. YMMV of course.

Looks like mine are the earliest version.

Actually I may well be sorted but if anyone else has some floating around I might still be interested in a spot of rolling.

Hi Lawrence

Apologies as I never know what is a good price or not for valves as they seem to go from sensible money to very costly really quickly . If these are a bit over priced then apologies but they do seem to have some in stock .

Thanks Andrew they look very similar to my later black T plate Sylvanias although the bases are larger on these I think like I usually find on JAN/US military tubes. More like my Raytheons.

I do pay quite a bit less than this on private sales although not all of it is NOS but I do like tested, or at least tried out!

Really been enjoying the Raytheons I bought off Jake in my Yaqin buffer, but if anyone has some good value NOS 6SN7s they want to part with I fancy trying something else with my new speakers. My Opera integrated also takes them so I've got plenty of room for more :)
