Going to give that a try soon. Never have had the free time to sit down and do side by side comparisons. Have now prophylactically self isolated from the family so I have plenty of free time (provide inpatient medical care, only a matter time before I have a significant exposure). Still playing around with speaker placement in my little apartment suite and getting a feel for the sound then on to rolling input tubes.
Here is what I have on hand:
Psvane cv181-T II
Amperex 6sn7gtb
Ken-rad 6sn7gt
Sylvania VT-231 jan chs 6sn7gt
Raytheon 6sn7gt
CBS 6sn7
Sylvania 6sn7gtb
Tung Sol USAF 6188
Tung Sol JAN CHS 6su7gty
RCA red base 5691
Sylvania jan chs 6sl7wgt
Usually use the Ken Rad 6sn7gt or Sylvania BT-231 in the IIPS PSE and Ting Sol 6su7gty in the 45 SET. Really haven’t tried the 6sl7 variants in the PSE but I have time on my hands now, really can’t go out during daylight hours, hard to explain to a 3yo why you can’t give them a hug. So time to make lemonade out of lemons.
