If you, or anyone else, purchases the 45/2A3 amp, the JJ 2A3-40 are most excellent and won't break the bank. I got them from Euro Tubes in Oregon. They fully test each tube and include the results in the box. With a 5Z3 and the JJ's the amp runs cool. You could leave your hand on it for hours but I'd rather sit back and . |

Is the new production Russian TungSol 6SL7 what you have? If so, what do you not like about it? |

It is not lacking in any way but I have nothing to compare it to and I’m new to this tube game.

Another thing that confuses me with Dennis's amps is the 6SN7 vs 6SL7. My original Fire-Bottle KT88 shipped with 6SN7, my custom pentode headamp from Dennis shipped with 6SL7. I asked Dennis about this, and he said you can use either 6SN7 or 6SL7. Although 6SL7 have a brighter tilt, more treble, 6SN7 have a more neutral sound. I prefer 6SN7. But it's interesting, because (I think it was bearcity, can't remember) somebody went to Dennis's house for a listening session, and they said they had to swap resistors values to make the amp perform better with 6SN7 vs 6SL7... Maybe Straitwire can shed some light on this? As for recommendation for input tubes, it's been said before by me and others in this thread, but I love the psvane cv181-tii. For a 6SN7, it tilts bright, so almost at the brightness level of a 6SL7. It also has outstanding technicals for a new production tube. |

Yes, the JJ 2A3 is a 2.5v 300B. A well made a good sounding tube and I like the bloom. I was looking at old production 2A3's but good examples have gotten expensive. There are some interesting 2A3's in the Psvane line but they appear to be hybrids too. The EML 45 is electrically identicle to a ST45 but it sounds much more powerful. I used them in early 2000's and they had issues with loosing vacuum. The mesh plates were also problematic. This appears to have been resolved and EML now has a 5 year warranty. The solid plates are now $600 or so. |
