Underdog of Phono Stage Drivers
Those looking for ultra-quiet phono stage tubes generally turn to Sovteks, 6922s and 6N1Ps. Those willing to put up with a little noise or a bit of microphonics for better tone and timbre look mainly to expensive NOS Amperex, RCA, and Mullard. You seldom hear of a SCORE! concerning mid-70s Sylvanias yet they are hands down the best 5965 driver tubes I've had in my 45 amplfier and now this single Yellow Letter Sylvania 6DJ8 is doing dead quiet, pure sounding work at the input of my Gas Tube Regulated Allen Wright- style phono stage.
