One thought on “Tung-Sol 6SN7 Black T-Plate Rectangular Side Mica”
This rare Tung-Sol 6SN7 Black T-Plate Rectangular Side Mica is a fascinating discovery within the Tung-Sol lineage. Produced in 1949, it shares a similar construction to the famous “Mouse Ear” variant but is housed in a much shorter glass bottle.
Sonically, this tube offers a distinct profile compared to its more famous siblings. The high-frequency response is significantly better than that of the Round Plate versions, and the bass remains very strong and powerful. It is a warm tube that delivers a huge amount of detail; however, it doesn’t quite match the exceptional “air” found in the Mouse Ear tubes.
Despite being super rare, it currently lacks the massive hype surrounding other 6SN7 legends. If you manage to track one down, it represents an opportunity to score an incredible sounding tube for a potentially reasonable price.
Final Verdict: Highly Recommended for its detail and warmth, offering a great alternative for those who find Round Plates a bit rolled off on top.
