RE: 6AS7G tube types explained...

The Bendix 6080 with graphite plates and ceramic base is worthy of an honorable mention. It sounds distinct from the 6AS7G and other 6080 in the two headphone amps I owned. More detail, better bass, retains liquid mids. A great tube. I liken it to the 5992 from Bendix as a 'super' 6V6G, where the former just gets it 'righter' than the standard 6V6G. Based on construction, the Bendix 6080 it looks like it would last a lifetime. The GEC 6080 is also excellent and I feel a step up from US made 6080. The RCA 6AS7G and Bendix 6080 lead their categories--for the most part, with the Bendix the 'better' contender--to my ear, in my systems, of course.

Generally, I agree with all Skylab says. Thanks.
