I just bought a quad of JJ 6CA7 today for my Cronus Magnum


I've been running an all solid-state setup as my primary for a few years but decided to bring the Cronus Magnum (not the II or III) back into the rack earlier this week for a listen. It sounds so nice - which reminds why I've never sold it. That Cronus Magnum has been my keeper for over a decade now whether it's been active in my audio rack or not.

I've been running it with KT120 tubes but decided to swap in my older set of EH 6CA7 the other night. In some respects I think I actually prefer the 6CA7 vs KT120. As an aside, I was told by Manley many years ago that the 6CA7 is like a 'rugged' EL34. That was their generalization years ago when I had the Manley Neo-Classic 250 monoblocks. When I retubed them Manley recommended the 6CA7. Long story I won't go into here.

In any case I'm presently running my Cronus Magnum on EH 6CA7 and it sound great! I ordered a quad of JJ 6CA7 today. Can't seem to find KT120 anywhere and I might just prefer the 6CA7 anyway.

I paid $140 with burn-in + FedEx 2-day Shipping from TubeDepot.
