Please recommend me some good 6L6s! (I have Sovtek right now)

[BigAlTheBird]

What's up guys?
So I have some Sovteks in my Classic. Looking possibly to try some other ones out (although these are pretty decent sounding). Anything you guys would recommend? I'm not looking to spend $50 each, but something reasonable is cool.

Anything great?

Try www.dougstubes.comor www.tubestore.com
The TAD or JJ 6L6's are highly recomended.

Thanks a bunch dude! I've been hearing nothing but good things about JJs. And for $30/pair, I think that's a good investment.

Thanks!

I like the SED/Winged C 6L6s. That's what I'm putting in my Mesas.

I use NOS philips in my Super and love them but they are not cheep, if you are looking for slightly less power and a nice singing OD tone the TAD small bottle's are real nice...kind of like an old 5881, if you want loud, clean and powerful the bigger bottle TAD tubes are nice but I like the Winged C/SED tubes better, for that tone.

Slightly different tube, but I love them nonetheless... the new Tung Sol 5881's. Lower headroom, schweet break up.

I have TAD 6l6s in both my amps. The Lux has been running them since i have had the thing and they sound great!!

I run EH 6L6's. I have a pair of NOS RCA's in my Bassman, and the EH's sound surprisingly close to the RCA's in my admittedly unscientific back to back tests.
