Schu Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 CBS hytron 5692... accept no substitute. Also, consider the Chinese cv-181... they are very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I haven't met any vintage 6sn7's I haven't liked and was just given my first pair of 5692's so I am excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few pieces I regretted selling. I later replaced with the AE-3 MKII which I thought didn't sound as good as the original. AES was the "budget" or dyi division of Cary years ago and no longer exists. They come up for sale every so often and are not that pricey. I almost purchased one myself, but I needed more inputs than the 3 on the AES. Plus I have the phono stage, which I really love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Landau Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 To my ears the Ken Rads are far too mellow. I really like the Sylvania 6SN7W or these https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tube-6N8S-6SN7-ECC32-1578-NOS-2/292914260944?hash=item44330cebd0:g:44AAAOSwmWVavyeX:rk:4:pf:0 which are the best I've heard but are quite expensive.

I've had/got a bunch of Sylvania, Rogers, GEs, etc. Can't say that I recall any RCAs. For me the Ken-Rad has a thick, luscious low end that really makes me smile.
