6L6GA tubes


I have started to hunt for NOS 6L6G tubes for my KS16608 and I was lucky to be able to get one set of NOS National Union and another set of made in UK, 6L6GA tubes by B.T.R.W at reasonable price for my Western Electric KS16608. Currently, the KS16608 is using vintage Brimar tubes and the sound is exceptionally sweet.

The good thing is that the Western Electric 124 can also use the same 6L6 tubes!

Hi Francis.

I know that this isn't a proper comment, but I'd really like to e-mail you, but it appears that the e-mail address you put in your blogger profile isn't correct. I'd be very happy if you'd contact me by sending an e-mail at wojtek [at sign] younghifi.com or just by correcting the address in your profile.

As for the proper comment:
I really envy you. You've accumulated such sophisticated vintage audio gear that I'm really curious how does it all sound in practice, all coupled and everything. You also have a pretty substantial watch collection, a friend of mine's granpa's also has a hobby like that. He specialises in vintage Swiss and Russian watches.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
