Hi there!
I've got some questions regarding some Sovtek tubes:
I've heard that the Sovteks from the last few years are really bad ones, and that oldre Sovteks were quite good; is this true, and if yes, when did the Sovteks start to become low quality?
I've got two pairs of Sovtek power tubes lying around. The first pair is labeled "5881WXT" and has a full sized base (I'm using that one in my Blues Deluxe at the moment), the other pair is labeled "5881/6L6WGC" and has almost no base. The pair of WXT's might be as old as my amp (I think they are the ones that came with my amp, but I'm not really sure), that's about 8 years now, and I think I got the 6L6WGC's maybe 2 or 3 years ago, don't remember exactly. What's the difference between those two and which pair would be the better one to use?
Thanks!
(edited for sense; got the bases and pairs mixed up!)
