Post Subject: 6C18C vs. 6C33C?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/8/2006
Got today a party of the 6C18C from 1960s, an interesting tube. The plate looks like 1/4 times larger and has no bridge between the halves. The 6C18C has even less plate impedance than 6C33C and it appears that it futures inside more “colorful” metal then the 6C33C. I have no idea how it sounds at this point and I wonder in which channel I should stick it is. The lower plate impedance and the larger anode would suggest that it should be a LF channel. The year of the production suggests that it should be HF channel. (The newer Russian tubes are the more vulgar they sound for whatever reasons). I would be an interesting try…
