TravAndAlexWow - quite the collection - try them all + all permutations among them... report back in a few months ;-)
I ordered a Sylvania 6SN7GT and an RCA 6AS7G -- looking forward to testing them out. On the stock tubes, I had the typical hum in the left channel. I pulled the rear tube out and let the front tube burn in a while -- hum is gone. Happy with my purchase - very excited about seeing / hearing how things will be affected by the NOS tubes.
zombiebrainzI got them all in a big lot from another guy. The sheer number of combinations overwhelms me! ;P Hoping for some opinions on what might be the best place to start.
