Russian 6n23p Saratov plant 1975 silver shield single wire getter

These can be had but have gotten very expensive. Let me know if you find a pair for around $100 or a quad for $200. Really only interested in the 1975 tubes.

Have you tried the Voskhod? I was blown away with the 6ak5 Voskhod I had.

Yes, those are the silvers I'm wanting....just not $110 each.

Like I said I've turned several on to the Voskhod's and no one has disliked them. They're a gem as far as Russian tubes go.

I've got some Russian contacts I've bought from I'll see if they have any. They are also in Ukraine.

Cool, thanks. I recall somebody saying they were an unknown gem in tubes, just don't recall which version the article was talking about.

I like the Sovtek 6n30pi, great sounding.

Where’s the best to get the real McCoy?

The "best" are way out of my price range and even if I thought of spending that kind of $$ the following would leave me out:
Please note that this tube can not be used in place of 6DJ8 or 6922 tubes in other pre-amps; it can only be used in equipment that is designed for it.

Thanks, Marvda I knew that's what you meant. My preamp was actually designed for a 6H30 but he said I could also use a 6922, 7308, or 6DJ8. I am currently using 1950's Amperex 7308 D-getters. Very very nice tube but always wondered what the 6H30 would sound like in comparison. So far I haven't been curious enough to drop the wad they want for the 6H30p-dr, which I'm told is indeed the best of the 6H30's.

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between the 6922/ 6dj8 and these russian tubes, is the heater current higher? I see a lot of sellers saying they are equivalent.

The problem with Russian tubes is in my experience and others much more knowledgeable than I have said many are NOT direct replacements for ours because of the way the pins are attached to the internal structure.

see if your pre can run a 7dj8? this is a wonderful sounding tube, it is a drop in replacement for a lot of amps and pres.
