Each tube type brings its own "flavour" to the system. I currently am enjoying some 1960s Tung Sols in mine - I've tried RCAs, Sylvanias, some 7AF7s with adaptors, and 12SX7s. AU, AX 's) - and yes, there are a lot of choices out there. I may catch some flak for this, but as I understand it, the advantage of the 6SN7 family of tubes is that it gives a flatter overall frequency response than other small pre-amp tubes (e.g. I would appreciate any further guidance on this topic, as I am getting in to tubes for the very first time. I'm sure all of these makes have their own sonic signature, but am I wrong to assume that they would share some sonic characteristics due to the common 6sn7 tube? This puts me in a bit of a fix, because I was just about to pull the trigger on the Doge 8 until I read about this tube. As a result of my brief search, I discovered that Mapletree, Modwright ls100, and the Rogue 99 Magnum all use the 6sn7 tube. So I figured that I would look into some tube preamps that use this tube. The sound that was described with this match has put me in overdrive with a tube preamp search.Īfter researching the Ultraverve, I found that Kara likes the 6sn7 for her preamps because of its tone.
My speakers are the Nola Viper iia's, and just the other day I read an article where the Nola's were matched up in a system that included the Dehavilland Ultraverve preamp. There is a method to my madness, which I will explain. Thanks for the responses, this is great info.
