Emmanuel Go of First Sound uses these in his current production preamps. When I got mine back from him, I thought that the 6N1P was an excellent tube, and I could be very happy leaving it in the preamp. My favorite is still the Amperex 7308, white label, made in US. A little more airy and transparent than the 6N1P. The 6N1P has more bass, though.
Has anyone heard the 6N1P preamp tube?
Hi,
I have a Counterpoint SA-1000 preamp-which I like. Currently, I am using a Sovtek 6922 on it. I think the tube sounds a bit harsh. Tried JAN Phillips tubes (twice), but the Phillips tubes proved to not be compatatable with the pre-amp- it introduces a scratchy noise into the output along with what every I am playing. I noticed in the Musical Direct catalog that Svetlana makes a 6N1P tube that is compatable with 6922/6DJ8 and was wondering if anyone has listened to this tube. I am on a budget so I cannot afford NOS tubes.
Thanks
Rich
