jimjimbo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Stacy sent me a quad of black plate Sylvania 6BQ5's (made for Baldwin organs) to try in my ampsandsound Stereo 15 Special edition. I had JJ's in there, and they were OK, but just sort of dry and clinical, as I PM'd to Stacy. Wow, what a difference the Sylvania's made! Great low end, very smooth midrange, they sound terrific. Beautiful! I don't know if I could have put anything better in the amp.....Thank you Stacy! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasqwatch Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hey Jim ,Glad you like them. I have some outer 6bq5s that I got from Kieth that I need to try out. Once I give them a listen I may have some further recommendations. Im glad you post you were looking for some tubes made me realize how long it has been since I spoke with Kieth . I'm going to have to give him a ring. Stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Morbius Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I always liked Sylvanias, especially their 7591's. Beautiful sound, but getting expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasqwatch Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 We'll I'd like to give a big shout back to Jim, when I sent him the 6bq5's he ask what I would like in trade , after looking thru my stash I determined I could use some 12au7 to use in a MC225 I just finished restoring last night. He sent me four pairs of closely matched 12au7s to roll. Thanks again Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
