Recently purchased 211 amp – it came as expected with Shuguang 211 tubes. The positive thing about this tube is that – yes, it is a tube and yes it will work in 211 amplifier without any problems.
Now about the other stuff, 211 amplifiers are known for absolutely beautiful midrange and delicacy. Unfortunately this tube delivers none of that. The tube has strong bass, but midrange is mediocre at best and top is the major problem with the tube – it is just very harsh and brittle.
So if you have a choice, stay away from the tube. Go for something more classy, after all 211/885 amps deserve that.
