[QUOTE="Francois, post: 883490, member: 1356"] I have tries a lot of NOS 6SN7's on the MingDa preamp, all sounded warm and ok to good. Raytheon, RCA, Tungsol and some other ones I could get my hands on. The Original vales was actusally better than them all. The New Tungsol was not worth it. And then I tried the Northern Electric 6SN7's holy cow!! Its like changing a B&W800 into a Sonus Faber amati. Detail, punch. its laughable obviously better than all the old crap. I have now upgraded 10 preamps. Biggest was the change to the Cary SLP-05! Marvelous. I am bringing in another 6 pairs this weekend. Pricey at $90 per valve but worth it. Looks good too. Like a small 300b I was also very surprised at the NE 12xu/au7's. What are these guys doing ? But there some NOS valves sound better! [/QUOTE]
