$90 a pair
An Absolute BARGAIN


Authentic & Tested. Tubes we sell are ALL tested unless otherwise stated! All tubes are cleaned and well-taken care. Look at the photos for the highly crystal-clear glass and clean pins despite being over half a century old!


*** Please do not trust any tube seller without posting any test information on the tubes, especially vintage ones. Always check and/or request the testing or supplier information of the tubes when buying. Without test information of the tubes, you can never tell how much of the life time of the tubes is left and its condition. How to trust when tube sellers just said 'tested strong', 'works like new' such frivolous comments to certify conditions of the tubes? Worse, some tubes listed did not even come with such comments. Or it could just be a meaningless % percentile reading without context. Although the readings do not absolutely dictate and gaurantee the tubes, it is at least imperative to supply these data for a better peace of mind regardless. ***

FREE shipping with SingPost normal mail. Additional S$2.50 for tracking service.


These 6SL7s are tested by plate current instead of the usual transconductance because the input values are beyond my tester could handle. Values are obtained from characteristic plot of their graphs of the tubes data.

Typical plate current reading for the test is 0.5mA for new tubes. Typical gain values should be around 70mu for new tubes.

• Tube #1
Side A: 0.80mA / 74.9mu
Side B: 0.92mA / 75.0mu

• Tube #2
Side A: 0.80mA / 78.7mu
Side B: 0.74mA / 79.0mu

For vintage tubes, American tubes offer fantastic performance value for money. The quality these tubes possess is unrivalled compared to today's reissues without costing such a premium like vintage European counterparts.

Ken-Rad 6SL7GT or VT229 tubes are very rare and perform exceptionally well. Background is very transparent and overall sound is very clean but musical. They are very hugely sought after and because of its rarity, their conditions are often looked quite beaten up and text faded. Tube #1 feels slightly loosened up but all these are just cosmetic imperfections. No leakage as the silver coatings are still shimmering shiny.

These are one of the top 3 as close as the best American 6SL7GTs one could get. Military specs of the tubes can be confirmed with stronger than new readings. They would not worth this price if not for the cosmetic imperfections stated earlier. This pair is truly a huge bargain!


Comes in white box.

All vintage tubes come with 1 month warranty.

See how we test tubes here > https://quartzacoustic.com/how-we-test-our-vacuum-tubes/

What you see is what you get. When we sell tubes we always will take various angles of it so to make sure what you select is exactly what you saw. No substitutions, no dishonest replacements.

Note: unless specifically mentioned, we do not label our out-of-production tubes as NOS (New Old Stocks), a term so commonly branded in many tubes seller. There can almost never be any guarantee these out-of-production tubes are NOS; they were mostly made in the middle of 20th century!! Who tells the tale that they are still new?? No doubt there will still be, but the changes of hands of all these stocks made this verification too difficult. To us, tubes can test excellent or test like new, but we call them all vintage tubes.
