Truly sorry about this late reply but, you were correct I tried the 6J5 tubes and they are by far better sounding than anything else I have ever tried in my system.

For you horn guys: What kind of compression driver are you using for high frequencies? Why that choice (if you know...)

I been using the Fostex 90A's with my modded Khorns with BMS 2" mid drivers with great success!!!

Since you like the 6F8G tubes you should try the 6J5 Gt tubes, I used the 6F8G tubes for years until I came across the the 6J5 tubes. You will need the adapters and a quad of 6J5 tubes each tube is a single 6SN7 in it's own glass. These tubes bested every other tube I have tried in my system...

300B Tube recommendation

This would depend on what your amp are voiced for? Which amp are you using? Back years ago when I was running a Sophia Electric 300B amp (Their Flagship Model) I was using Mesh tubes I think fro CJ or something like that. I tried others including the WE 300B they sounded terrible in that amp...

WTB A Tascam or Otari Console R2R

I am looking for another deck preferably one of the two mentioned in the title, I would also like it to be a console type or in a rolling stand. Cosmetics are important but not a show stopper!!!
