Just stay far away from Sovtek 12AX7's...as I'm sure you know...I fart with better tone than those things.

What tube needs replacing?

http://tubedepot.com/nos-6l6wgb.html Those would be nice 6L6's... Best current production is probably the Svetlana (SED) ones with the brown bases.

Is that the 100W model? A Google search tells me... 4 X 6L6, 2 X 12AX7A 5 X 12AX7WA 1 X 12AT7 with a solid state rectumfrier

Maybe by the time the supply runs out I'll be a pimp and make enough to afford 845 monoblocks...22W DHT, *drool* But those would be the only amps I'd buy to replace the SV811's...I don't like 300B's, and 2A3's don't have enough power for me anymore.

Should get two or three years out of a set of power tubes...hopefully.

The driver tubes (6EM7's) aren't made anymore, but RCA and GE made somewhere approximately around eleventy bajillion and one of them, so they're dirt cheap on the used market. Like $5 each.

Post something on Audio Asylum looking to see if anyone has replacement tubes...seems like although next to no one distributes SV811's, tons of people have ones in boxes sitting in closets or whatever. I'll probably just keep 4 or 5 pairs lying around for now (close to 10 years worth of replacements).

Was just checking CSO for a bit...Josh & crew have pretty much shut Mark down, but he keeps coming up. Much like one of those plastic gophers you beat with a mallet and it pops up again.

I'm here.

it's yo berfday

w00t

Keep up the good work.

Not from me...I'm about to pass out.

rock wit it

headed downtown for a bit... *poof*

Unless you're taking Spanish, I wouldn't trust that...

In that case, no.

Sweet.

cherry limeade + gin = happy jim

For Elias & Evan: This is what happens when bad little tubes won't behave.

That era Bronco's are cool too, just next to impossible to find in good shape anymore. Same with IH Scout 800's...nothing wrong with a small 4 banger, but they're either "for parts only" or just underwent frame-offs and the owners want $15k for 'em.

Woah...just got a mad rush of Dr. Pepper after-fizz through my nose. Felt like my nose was about to rip off.

Sort of like driving a van. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol, I can get over 60mph though Oh well, I'll be keeping an eye to these things for the next year or so...hell, maybe even convince the parents to help me with a downpayment as a graduation present. But I'm not holding my breath on that one.
