Garey - It's a matter of semantics. :-)) I usually rate them as EXACT, GOOD or Doesn't Exist. In a pinch, the substitutes listed will work, but certainly not as well as the 6HS6 which is far superior than the subs mentioned. Yes, I have tried them and do work with degraded performance...I'm an old

I think that you can short one-end and using good GDO, form a small loop at one end and loosely couple the GDO by inserting it into  loop measure it as though it is a quarter wave long, but at half the frequency. Use the following formula: V = (length in feet of the cable x frequency)/246 V= veloc

The following tubes may be used as a "Good" substitute for a 6HS6 but NOT as an exact substitute. 6AG5 6AU6 6BA6 6CB6 My advice...Locate some more 6HS6 units. 73, Jay/AF2C At 02:43 PM 12/11/05 -0500, you wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang
