I need to retube my 2:90 and since my funds are a bit limited I asked my tech if there's an alternative to =C= 6L6s... I really want that particular tube because they're the balls and I'm sure of it, but they've gone up by 10€ per tube and now I'd have to pay a whooping 320€ for an octet.
He recommended TungSol 6L6s, which are no less half the price (!) of =C='s.
I like the "sophistication" and clarity mixed with the banging lows and rounded feel of =C='s and my tech said he put them in his ENGL because of those characteristics. I've heard them in his amps and some amps he retubed so I'm sure that if I get the =C='s they will fit the bill.
Should I wait and get the =C='s or are TungSols gonna cut it? How do they compare?
