These might be worth a go-

Nice, let us know what they are like. 6C4C is it?

Yup.

I own a lot of triodes and NOS Tung Sol 6A3 is one of my faves. They did 6B4G too. Probably pretty much the same tube.

The Tung Sol 6A3 has a very natural, spacious easy listening nature to it that is really hard not to like. Smooth mid range and treble sounds relaxed where other valves can sound edgy. Big, generous easy going bass, too. Definitely nice.

BTW 6C4C should turn up next week. Less hopeful for the adaptors though as they are coming from HK.

2a3 and 45 are definitely two of my favourite valves.

My current fave is the Tesla AD1n.

Nice find on the Sylvania - good price.

The earth lift system stops any earth loops happening when you connect ancillary equipment. Works incredibly well and can reduce the noise floor too

Ahh, I see. Thanks.

Yes I thought so.

They are excellent so far. I am quite taken back by them TBH.

Just get the most recent ones, not the older ones as I can't vouch for them.

Excellent clarity, linearity, separation, imagery and detail across the frequency range.

Warm? No. Just really clear.

Mine look like this.

I found this ad on another well-known Forum relating to the amps:

'Up for sale are “those” 6B4G amps built by Guy Sargent and previously owned by Amdismal amongst others. I have had theses amps now for about 5 years, using successfully with my horns. I am now fully active, and as I don’t have room for 8 channels of tubes, they have been sat gathering dust. So I have decided to allow someone else to enjoy them. As you can see from the picture they aren’t a looker, but the rich midrange will make you forget about it’s looks. The previous owner, Tom, added the cherry wood surrounds to bling them up a bit. The amps will come with a number of spare tubes, currently they are using Russian power tubes, but I have USA ones it came with too. I am going to the Kegworth show, so can bring them there, too fragile to post imho. I am sure I could convince Steve57 to connect them up to his speakers in place of his PX25’s for an audition. They can be auditioned at mine in Nottingham too, (only one channel not full range as I am active). I am selling them for the same price as I bought them.'

I spoke to Guy about the amps and clearly someone got at them after he built them!

Yes. Not really planning to get back into valves in a big way, but I could be tempted by something 2A3 wise .
