Matched sextets and octets are available as well.After extensive research and engineering, New Sensor Corp. has reissued the famed Genalex Gold Lion CV511 (6V6GT) vacuum tube.
From our review of this 6V6 power tube: "The Gold Lion 6V6GT/CV511 tube is the top of the line in current production 6V6 power tubes. To go on about the subtle tone variation would frankly be a waste of time. They have the classic 6V6 tube sound. Plenty of smooth creamy overdrive. You won’t get better tone and reliability from anything else on the market. If you want even more then look for NOS tubes like Brimar U.K., Philips, or RCA.

Rich Tones In my Valve Train Lexington Reverb amp
by Paddy Mac
This seems to work very well in my boutique low wattage class A amp. Impressive complex tones with added warm bass compared to stock Electro-Harmonics 6V6GT tube. With all knobs on full, there is no background hiss/noise. However, there is a mild 60hz hum. I may have not noticed the hum before because this power tube is so quiet, or I need to now try a few premium preamp tubes. This is for someone that works the guitar lightly, plucks hard for leads and works the sound from their fingers.
Beautiful tube
by Douglas Robertson
I've been using a pair of these in a Rivera Venus 3 for more than two years without a single problem. The amp is "Class A" so it runs full-out the whole time and, so far, these tubes have been wonderful! These tubes exhibit exactly what 6V6's are known for - harmonics, chime, clarity, and warmth. Highly recommended!
Tube Failure.
by Richard Merriam
I purchased a Genalex 6V6GT tube on 07/03/2012. It failed about seven months later. This was used in a reproduction '59 Princeton built by me. The audio problem mimicked an intermittent failure. I won't buy Genalex tubes again.
