NOS Pope 6v6gt's For Rockerverb 50
I'm considering installing a set of NOS Pope 6v6gt's (Phillip/Amperex Holland 1957-60) in my RV50. I was told these power amp tubes are the best NOS tubes for high plate voltages and hotter bias settings. They also get great reviews for their sound quality and character.
