Alright, I'm going to try 6sn7 GTB's in my SEX with Stax earspeakers and report back.  I've got more 6sn7's than one needs in a life time.  Smoke em if you got em right!

I'm listening to GE 6sn7 gtb's in my SEX as I type this. So far I'm really enjoying the sound! I've got some hum that needs tracking down but otherwise, so far so good!

It's partially tube related and something else in my amp as it's a hot mess under the hood.  I've got too much stuff wedged into that small chassis.....

I just tried a pair of Toshiba 6SN7GTB I have lying around. I'm really enjoying the sound too. It's more chill than the 6DN7 (usually have Sylvanias in there).

From my limited understanding, the 6H8C has max plate voltage 330V while the SEX has 375V on section 2's plate. Are you sure that's going to be OK?

One of the great things about building a kit is that you can probably fix it if something breaks ...  :^)

To sum up it means that 6sn7gt cannot be used but the gta and gtb can. This would be a shame as I have six cryoed mullard 6sn7gt with me, which I have no use for. I was hoping I could use it here.
