Thanks Lon,

Sorry to hear your taking a break. HockessinKid took a break a while ago and hasn't been back. His room was set up similarly to mine. Always liked his input on subjects.

Thanks for your impressions of the Cryotone 6SN7. Given the price it would need to preform miracles. Not lacking on 6SN7 tubes, maybe down the road I may give them a try.

Good luck Lon and thanks!

I wonder if you think there might be 6CG7 benefits, along the lines you mentioned in your amp, placement in CSP preamp. I am pleased with my 6SN7s in my CSP 2+ but had not heard of the 6CG7 tube until your post. Thanks.

Run, don't walk away from any of these. FWIW, JMO, YMMV &C.

I bought a grab bag of them for less than a buck a tube and they work great and sound great as well. They aren't as common as the 6 volt variety, but they typically don't cost very much.

Started doing some research on the 6SN7 tube for my newly acquired CSP2+ 25th. Landed on this page and decided to share it for all of the history buffs out there. For those of you who use and are familiar with this tube, this may redundant..but I found it insightful.
