I guess my favorite tube is the one I'm looking at while enjoying some music.
But my next home amp is going to run 812s so I guess I'm partial to those (that and I have a box full).

all the 6v6 look awesome.....
there is something 'appealing' about 6V6
probably relates to its perfect shape with nice natural 'proportions'
there goes my spare time...
OK, there went my time planning for today... going through the ones I half forgot and more...😀
Of course the 813 is one of my favs. The first I ever bought because of the way it looks.
The ECC32 is another one that I like to see and sounds good too 😎

The 12E1 gets my vote (I just love those curves... 🙂 )
Related to the 6P28?

Not really. 6P28 is for TV line output driving. 12E1 was produced as a series pass element for voltage regulator use.
all the 6v6 look awesome but these 2 look really outer space wild looking cool lol especially the Westinghouse lol
Check out the National Union 😎

Yeah the 6v6GTs/GTAs/GTY and the older lower voltage "G" types that classy looking coke bottle lol, just sweet looking, because you know the awesome tone hidden inside xD

I am thinking that it is the quintessential shape of a vacuum tube that makes it look so good. It is what one would/might think of immediately when given a pencil and paper and asked to draw a vacuum tube.

Do you would like inform us how is the sound of this 212E monoblocks??
Thanks
Western Electric 212E SET Amplifiers with a Playstation controller means only one thing... Playstation 1 CD player! Makes everything in that picture that ever so little more awesome. And it lets me post a link to my second favourite article about the PS1 CD player.

And in a thread related note, I would absolutely love to have either of those large amps in my living room. It not only amplifies music to a greatness, but lights up the room AND heats it also. 🙄

I don't think my wife will agree with getting more amps to reduce the gas bill 😛
I should finish the 813/QB2-250 amps to warm up my office though (and keep the kids out...).
The 833 amp in the picture has been upgraded to TB3/2000 outputs some time ago. A lot better looking piece of glass 😎
