6j5

Postby battradio » Tue Aug 14, 2012 12:52 am

Has anyone compared 6J5 to 6J5GT and 7A4's , different tube strutures are more microphonic than others . I just ordered a few 6J5GT's to compare to the metal ones which are almost coming out my ears .
I also bought several 7A4's and 7B4's that i found for less than $3.00 each The 7A4 is the same as the 6J5 electricly but has a locktal base , and the 7B4 is a 6SF5 but is pin for pin exchangible with the 7A4 .

Will be building some from scratch amps and can use any preamp tubes i want , also laid in some 7F7 NOS at 4$ each alot cheeper than the 6SL7's are going for .

Hello,

a little late :$

... but one of the best 6J5 are the GEC (british) model : clearly more better than for exemple Sylvania metal base, that I have also in stock.

Really a great tube (I plug it in an octal tube phono using RCA shematic).

Regards (wine)

I had found quite a mix of 6J5's , no MO valave GEC though , but just scored 20 NOS Raytheon 6J5GT metal base that should last me for quite a while .
