This is the first review in my series of Sylvania tube reviews. Why not start with the best? This is a well-known tube – one of the more noticeable sound characteristics is its bass – it’s very pronounced. Not very tight or structured, but it does go very deep. Now that comes with a price. If you are going to use it in a headphone amp, the bass could be overpowering. On the other hand in an amp that drives speakers, the tubes really kick butt. The top is very sweet and well extended. Midrange, as it usually is with Sylvania, is very liquid. A lot of people consider this to be the best 6SN7 tubes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
BTW, there is also 2-hole version reviewed on this site here and Gray plates version with 3-holes also reviewed here.
