Lampizator Level 7

My impression of the 6A3's is changing as probably the tubes are with some burnin use. They are late of late '40's vintage and as me, they may have been a little gassey; nothing that the getter couldn't burn off

Nevertheless, their producing the most holographic soundstage that I've ever heard. Separation is pretty amazing. Whether they will ultimately be my primary tubes, I haven't a clue. But, they are sure fun to listen to. Not bad for around $50 a piece!

In the meantime, I post my thoughts when the 422A arrives....

6A3 is the best value for money play. I like to use the Phillips metal base GZ34 recti and NU brand 45 triodes as well certain vintage 54uG rectis. I was lucky to score a pair of ST shape WE vintage 101ds for $100 the pair delivered...very weak testing, but they work fine.

This chap has a load of '58 WE 101Ds but the pin size is not compatible. If anyone knows of an adaptor I might go for them.

IMHO 6A3 is a strong lesson that price is no indicator of sonics. History has not given it the credit/status it deserves - luckily for us

J, its not the top so much that drives up the price. It is the Bugatti internal parts that do it. Boutique parts up the wazzoo. Furutech/Vishay/Duelund silver, etc.

I know Norman.

I really want the Big7. Far too much £££ though.

Would love to know if anyone has heard the Lite 7!
