    6F6Gs are very Underrated?

    I swear these are very underrated vs the usual very hyped up 6v6 tubes, they just have a way more detailed presentation compared to most 6v6s

    It says Super Silvertone on the base 5CX code on the base as well, but it looks a little different than the Usual RCA or other manufactures... I'm not sure what the Hell it is?...... A pair of these sound absolutely AMAZING though.... the Detail and harmonic content really jump out at you with...

    I have some of those later ones the GTs the black-plates etc I think are Sylvania or GEs these damn things really sound wild man, so "airy"/Chimy/sparkle, lowered the amps B+ with resistors from 420v plates/screens to about 360-375v now these suckers really scream just Wow richer/more detail...

    Cabniet Insulation/dampening Material?

    I know this isn't exactly the right area to talk about this...but I was experimenting with some 1" polyester/wool material inside a cabinet and you know its very very interesting how it effected the overall sound and certain tubes the character how they are effected by it same with the speakers...

    Something about 6v6..

    What is it about these old NOS suckers that sound so damn good? haha, after trying and going through so many EL34s and 5881s/6l6s I still find myself always missing the hot-rodded 6v6 sound and that clean magical sparkle/Presence they have nothing sounds like them so Unique why that is I don't know.

    Insulation/Dampening Material inside Cabinets?

    Honestly I never thought there was/would be much difference between not having any or some inside a Cab, I put some Fiberglass/Polyester Pieces inside one of my Cabs and Just WOW haha, I like how it mellowed/flattened the sound/more even balanced response too. I wouldn't say dull like some say...

    Current Production EL34s??

    Whats everyones Preference? The SEDs being the best of the best? and for lower budget the JJ E34Ls win out for best price/performance ratio? Or is it all a bunch damn Cork-sniffing snake oil? I Was never much of EL34 user so trying get back into it, I still have some of the old Shuguang EL34As...

    Jrc4558dd

    The double "D" version is higher gain correct?? I never tried or used them didn't even know about them... I found some of these and Paralleled/stacked on top of TLO72CPs and some just by themselves etc in a certain amp. First impression the TLO72CPs are far cleaner/hi-fi more neutral possibly...

    Feedback circuits/Configurations

    I suggest most people delve into all this, before jumping into speaker issues,The real truth/key is here. You can't blame speakers entirely, They are only so good at what you give them to work with :)

    Speakers, the alleged Most vital link....lol

    Seriously man, Think of How HUGE the difference in different, output configurations/output transformers/feedback circuits can be even more Vital in my opinion. You cannot just blame it all on speakers....lol
