Wanted: 6SN7 Tubes.
#1 Wanted: 6SN7 Tubes.
I have two Electro Harmonix 6NS7EH Tubes on the 845's.
I am intrigued by the idea of rolling tubes, as I only require two 6SN7 Tubes, this would be a good place to start.
Any tubes out there that might be made available, that would offer a alternative SQ to the above tubes ?

I have a handful of nice ones like RCA or Brimar in a box upstairs - however , used, some probably good, some marginal or not balanced. I haven't really touched them since I had the WAD 2A3 amp years ago. I can only check filament resistance myself, let me know if you have any interest and I will check through them.

I tried a lot with used in my Rocky amp. Ended up using Kenrad VT-231 with 'black' glass (but can't believe the prices currently on e-bay).
I also tried I think some Russian 6H8C if I'm not mistaken. I didn't like them but they may suit.
I probably have a fair number of different ones if you want to PM me. Would be easy to try if you're close to Manchester.
May be worth watching these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6sn7gt-ken-r ... Sw0c9bg8-u

I have quite a lot of both 6SN7 and 6SL7, including the nice red RCA base ones (called "rocket valves" I believe as they were used in nuclear missiles ? urban myth ?)
I'm quite happy to send a bunch to a fellow DIYer - try them and keep the ones you like, send the rest back. Pay postage and the ones you keep. PM me if interested.

I thought I replied to Rythmick's kind offer, looks like it did not show on the thread.
Thank you Rythmick for this offer, I will take you up on it when I chose a valve from the current trial valves.
It will be a little while till I require them, as I am not forcing this one, I'm prioritising enjoying the Amps, followed by little tweaks as and when.

Do you want to try Russian 6N8S? It's full analogue 6SN7.
#11 Re: Wanted: 6SN7 Tubes.
I'm the laziest Tube roller to be found, my recent purchases are still boxed and not trialed.
It will be a deepest winter past time, to fill a few hours, when housebound.
I will consider other choices as I progress with the evaluations.
