Title: Are Svetlana 6bm8 tube any good?
Post by: ncusack on June 06, 2011, 12:57:17 pm

Hey,

I've been looking into a Little Wing build and have been trolling ebay for 6bm8 deals. I've seen anumber of reasonably prices svetlana lots from russia but i'm wondering if those are any good. They work out to like $7 a tube on ebay versus about $16 a tube for the electro harmonics tubes from an online dealer. I'm just wondering if the EH are worth the extra bucks.

Cheers,

Neill

Properly tested and sorted Svets are every bit as good as their EH equivalents.
