I finally got around to looking up the pin-out for my broken Tung Sol 6SN7.

Thanks to some packing tape and a socket saver, I’m now using this tube in my Lyr 3.

Findings:

  • The Tung Sol is way more functionally intact than some of my vintage tubes that have much better reputations. It has good definition and range, and generates no piercing whines.
  • The Lyr 3’s output more closely resembles the RebelAmp now, but the RebelAmp is on another level for punch and definition.
  • I should do a systematic comparison between my 6SN7s. We will see.
