Blue Glass Sophia Electric
 
1 Attachment(s)
Anyone try any of the blue glass 6SN7, blue glass EL34, blue glass KT88, blue glass Classic 300B and blue glass Aqua 274B tubes.

Curious on reviews? I run a Sophia in my headphone rig and from what I was told the Princess series is a better tube.

:lurk: Running the 274B clear glass and 6SN7 in my WA6. Would also like to know if there is truly a difference in anything other than cost.

I have the blue 6SN7 in an Inspire amp. The reviews are spot on. I'm not sure if the blue glass has any effect though. :scratch2:

Expensive but worth it if it has longevity. My amp does not run it hard. Time will tell.

The EL34's are tempting. I have read they sound like a 300B. Maybe down the road for me.

Use their 6SN7s in my Woo headphone amp and think they are great. Also use their rectifier tube and think it is a step above, as well.

After our SEPAS get together this afternoon, Keith & Jim & I agreed that the larger envelope must help moderate the electron flow allowing our ears to instantly assimilate to the sound. At least that is the BS we came up with. :yes::thumbsup:;)
