I'm in desparate need of ordering 6N6 tubes for my integrated amp. I've tried different tubes such as E182CCs, 6N6-ps and none of them work. My stock tubes are working fine, but if they go out I'm done....

Today, I came across this site I've never seen before.
http://www.ornec.com/products/US/0/Tubes/

This company is based in UK. If anyone can comment on them, it would save me alot of money and worries.

Nope, never heard of them.

You should try them, and then let us know if you got screwed. Take one for the team.

Might as well. With another order of wrong tubes, I might be able to open my own tube store.
I think I'll wait about a week to see if I get any response.
I also gotta same post going at the tubeasylum. I dont think AR is a good site at all for tube audio.
I'll be sure to post my findings doe.

Hi,

Don't know this seller. But just found this thread on DIY Audio. It might lead you in the right direction.

Thnaks for your help Bernd,

Alot of them suggested using 6N6Ps in place of 6N6s. That's is definetly not true. One person stated "6N11 = 6922, ECC88, 6DJ8", that is true.
Chinese 6N6 is infact 6N6-T. I was able to find a french dealer on http://www.audiotriodes.com/en/shop/flypage/product/253.html
I'm about 98% positive that these are Chinese tubes made by Shugang.
Problem is that they seem to be having problem taking orders right now.
One again, thank you.
