6L6WGC/5881 Tube choices for Amp


Dear Friends,
I have a small system in my office which punches out 40 Watts (sounds like 80 really) in pentode configuration.

I currently have the stock tubes on em - not bad, but i feel with the power tube change, things can go really sweet.

I have no knowledge on Tubes, Frankly on Ebay a quad matched pair
can range from 400-900.00 i do not know if its worth it to spend that
kind of money.

However,i am keen on changing the ECC83 to Brimar NOS.

Any help i can get is really appreciated!

The 6P3S-E and 6N3C-E are the same tube. They are military spec, ruggerized and specifically made to withstand higher plate current. Go to the Cryoset tube website, look them up, they have a comprehensive write-up on this tube plus the ones Cyroset sell are cyro-treated. Very inexpensive but a terrific tube. Buy them while you can still get them. Best
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much! and yes i will get in touch with kevin from upscale
and going to check out cryoset, thanks and will report back with my findings.

Dear thegoodarcher,

I know, it's been so long since this post was published.


But being a happy owner of the SHINE, I would like to know if you have found a set of tubes that sounds better more that standard for this small / big ampli!


thank you
