The new JJ/Tesla 6V6 tube is a great example of that. Kick ass little
tube. I'm anxious to hear reports on this new Tung Sol 6V6 that LV
mentioned in that earlier thread.

It's too bad modeling amps replaced tube amps! Or was that Randall
that did that?

Yep, I tried one of the Tung Sols in my Princeton Reverb, the day
after I tried a new long plate JJ/Tesla ECC803 tube in there. I went,
nope... got it right the first time, and put the ECC803 back in. But
the new Tung Sol works great in my JTM45RI.

So, yeah. Selection's great these days.
