Re: tubes
do not build anything with this crappy tubes ;
send them to me ( you pay just little postage from Greece to Serbia ) and I'll smash 'em for ya

Wow!
I would use them instead of 6L6 in my 4x6L6 version!
There are some 6889's on Ebay right now
and I've just got a Quad of these, similarly awesome construction and specification; gotta build an Amp around these....

Most 6L6 circuits will work fine with the 6AR6 and 6384 (within the maximum plate dissipation ratings). Some bias adjustment may be needed. Keep in mind that these tubes have a different pinout than the 6L6.
The odd pinout solves the arc over problem that happens with any of the common audio tubes. A 6L6GC or any of the others are prone to an arc from pin 3 (plate) to pin 2 (a heater pin that is often grounded) when operated at high plate voltages and abused, like a guitar amp. This is why the 6AR6 has a higher plate voltage rating than the 6L6GC and the 6384 is even higher at 750 volts.
I have some of both tubes. I wired the 6384's into a 6L6GC amp several years ago, but that amp didn't take advantage of those tubes. It was a wimpy 30 WPC amp. Further experimentation will occur in the next few months.
