After testing the prototype tubes some time ago we've installed several<br />
hundred Ruby 6V6GTBC in amps requiring higher voltage ratings. Without a<br />
doubt, this is the best 6V6 made as far as power, stability and durability<br />
is concerned. Sound is, of course, a personal opinion, so depending on<br />
personal taste, playing style and amp design you may find others more to<br />
your liking. <strong>The</strong> Russian 6V6s is fine (we use many of them from Ruby,<br />
Sovtek and others) for applications that need earlier distortion and lower<br />
output, a number clients who are well known blues players perfer the<br />
Russian tubes in lower voltage amps because they are a weaker tube. If<br />
your playing is more to the Rock or Clean side you will appreciate the<br />
extra headroom of the 6V6GTBC.<br />
