Check this out.. I done a quick scan and couldn't find anything evident in the forums so I wasn't sure if you guy's have known of this and posted anyway. From: http://www.jacmusic.com/ (No affilliation) Quote:
How do you think they will perform, sound? Cheers. |

An appearance gimmick, I'd guess. The internals don't look as solid as, say, a 5692. And a globe will allow somewhat more gassiness over time than a tubular envelope (greater surface area).
Bottom line- if you MUST have something that looks unusual and you're willing to pay an extraordinarily high price, these might be the way to go. Disclaimer: I have not used or tested these tubes myself. They could be manna from heaven.

Hi,

Do they make any good sounding 6SN7? No. That's the end of that as far as I'm concerned. Cheers,

The globe is an attractive 'gimmick' but these are so huge that they won't fit in most existing amps because of socket to other component spacing. Thus only useable in new product designs. That plus thinking that line stage tubes should not be larger than output bottles I'm thinking they shud have made these globes smaller. Also not much getter flash in there to pump this large space down at time of manufacture. Sy also points out possible long term issues with large area internal outgassing vacuum depletion. Then there's the question about how good they are as an electronic component in addition to just an L'objet d'art?
I say nice try but needs some fine tuning fellas!

My only experience with "Made in China" is what I find in dollar stores. I'm supposed to trust these?

According to Chinese manufacturing, yes :P Personal opinion? nope, not at all, nada! You're not expected to eat off em either =) Maybe another company could pick up on a 6SN7 in this envelope design, could be a nice change from all those EL84's/6V6/12AX7 etc, what do you think? Quote:
