Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
Which kind of Matsushita 12au7 do you have ? They seem to be the only neutral sounding Japanese 12au7 that I found yet. Love these. 1950s, Long plates, 45°D getter- Renexx

Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
It's a sky effect. Light from the rooftop window reflects like little stars on the dust haha⭐ Lovely, I have many versions of Sylvania 6v6 but never saw this glow. I have blue glow like that with my military GE 6v6gt or RFT 6v6gt.- Renexx

Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
I think I didn't share a nice tube roll for longer time. I found some really nice and rare American or Japanese variants of 12au7 tubes. Right now I have problems with the treble peak of the Fostex TH900. Some rolls really bring it forward and some cover it completely. This would be a nice...- Renexx

Did somebody use Ecc33 tubes in the Euphoria? Do they have the same Pinout like ecc32 and can be used without an adapter ?- Renexx

The Reference 6SN7 Thread
Why you guys like GE tubes so much ? This 1955 6SN7GTB is pretty okay, better than new production for sure. I didn't like the later versions. Better is the Canadian GE 6SN7GT industrial yellow base with 1950s Sylvania badboy construction: very warm and not the most resolving but sounds great...- Renexx

For 6AS7G tube rollers here .....
That's only the advertising on the tube. I judge them by their inner construction. It's a Tungsol 6as7g. Very nice sounding tube but overpriced.- Renexx

Tungsol and Sylvania 7236 are "faster" power tubes. Good resolution with punchy lowend. I have a pair for sale in classifieds. Shoot me a pm if you are interested.- Renexx

The Reference 6SN7 Thread
I really had to search for those Los Gatos boxes in the picture haha. Those are Sylvania 6sn7w and vt-231 relabeled in the 70s. Bingo! Pope was a Mullard/Philips brand. I have a clear and older grey glass pair of those Philips 6sn7gt. Absolutely rare I hope 😁 Yea, I wonder why those are so...- Renexx

Military Mullard 6080. Very warm, rounded on both ends, wooly bass. British warmth with lots of tube magic.- Renexx

The Reference 6SN7 Thread
It took me long to find a pristine pair for a fair price. Coincidence gave me a cherry picked AQ2408. I hope those are rare. So this would be the reason why I don't have more GECs. Starting to organize my collection right now. Before it was quite hard to find a certain tube.- Renexx

Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
Definitely. It's in the same league like a Feliks Euphoria AE. Tubes are plenty full available and relatively affordable. a cool sounding combination: RCA 12au7 1950s long black plates, Cossor 6V6G and Sicte 22DE4 Except the RCA, both tubes are quite bright sounding tubes. Great synergy of...- Renexx

You don't need matched pairs. The amp has an auto bias and will balance the amplification of each tube individually. You can't notice if you have a 100% tube and an almost dying tube together. You only notice that the dying tube become noisy or microphonic. Enjoy your tubes.- Renexx
