    Yes, there are still NOS 6SN7GTA/B tubes at reasonable prices, and reportedly the new manufacture TungSol 6SN7GTB tubes sound good, according to both Upscale Audio and Jim McShane.

    My experience with the SRX-P and new Tung Sol 6SN7GTB is very positive. I think that its´no t necessary spend money on NOS if you can find this tubes.

    If spritzer is correct that the output tubes are 6N6P, the data sheet says their maximum plate dissipation is 8 watts total for both anodes, max static plate voltage is 450 volts.  Pretty similar to 6SN7GTA/B at 7.5 watts total and max static plate voltage of 450 volts. 

    So, What can be the advantage (or disadvantage) of using the 6N6P if it´s silimar to 6SN7GTx? Size and 0.5w?

    I don´t like Marilyn Manson but when I saw John Lowery (John 5) the first time I thought there was something special about him. I have always liked his way of playing several opposing styles (metal~glam~ country) and I think he is a very underrated musician. 

    John 5 and the Creatures:  Turn up the volume of your amps!

    Jose.WDYT of the sound know with the fat girls as opposed as the Carbon ?

    I will try to explain myself with my limited knowledge of English. Please don't taunt me  :D

    Although the GG is now to my liking, IMO there is still a big difference between both:

    The Cabon sound is much flatter, more precise and detailed.     The problem is that he doesn´t forgive the bad recordings or sources. You can hear all defects and goodness of a recording. Sometimes this is good... or not. 

    The GG with the "fat bottomed girl" :D he has a nice bass and a midrange colored and more balanced between both, IMO this makes it less precise (a bit), but at the same time make it more musical and relaxed.

    With my EL34 quads (JJ, Mullard and Tung-sol) I think that the GG sound is a disaster because you have U-shaped equalization and I don´t like this kind of sound.

    IMO both amps have an opposite character and you can determine perfectly which of the two you are listening to. If you have an aggressive source (for example DAC with many treble or bad records), you probably would appreciate having the GG. For other hand if you prefer a sound as faithful as possible, the Carbon is your amplifier.

    PD. I haven´t any "sacred cow" yet (007/009), I only have Lambda, 202 and 307. :(

    Ok I'm listening to my new "Fat Bottom Girls"  :D

    I recognize that the sound is much better than the EL34. I had never used 6CA7 before but I'm very surprised.
