Description

New Old Stock Matched Quad of Soviet 6P3S (6L6GC) Tubes


* A note on the 6P3S as a 6L6GC substitute *
There are various datasheets floating around that show varying specifications on these for plate voltages, wattage output, etc. Technically, they are not direct equivalents but are commonly used as substitutes in many 6L6GC circuits - this is why we list them as the 6P3S / 6L6GC. The ability to use them in a 6L6GC socket is going to depend heavily on the specific circuit/amplifier you are looking to install them into. Your mileage may vary depending on the amp. If you are not sure if your amplifier can successfully run the tubes, we highly recommend reaching out to a tech with the amp's specs before purchase or installation. 
 
These vintage Russian power tubes are a steal. As sweet tubes are essentially an older version of the modern Sovtek tube, they were made in the Reflektor factory using the same materials and data sheets. 
 
Why pay for the name? These are the same quality as new production tubes but with  a vintage flavor.
 
These come with generic white boxes. They were bulk-packed and never came with a box but we guarantee that they are true NOS.

    6p3d tubes

    Posted by Tom on 18th Dec 2022

    I bought a quad of these to try in my magnetic 124a monoblocks. This was a huge improvement. The amps are quicker than the tad 6l6s I had in there before more detailed beauty was way way better tone was great detail much better. I am really pleased with these tubes. Now I have to say wow are they cheap. That's a great combo cheap and great sounding. I bought a second set just incase I liked them. Lol I might but a few more sets then I will never worry about finding a power tube for thos monoblocks again. It can become my kids problem if they are interested in them some day.

    As expected

    Posted by Matt on 24th Aug 2022

    Bought them to try in a JCM 900 (4100) head. I had been running closely matched Tung-Sol and RCA 6L6GC pairs without problem. First checked the tubes in my BK 700 tester and were spot on as advertised. Proceeded with the install and power up all well and good at this point, clicked on the bypass and within 15 seconds all 4 were red plating severely. I was somewhat expecting this as VT gives a clear word of caution with the items description. Old Soviet hardware is hard to tell what exactly your going to get. No big deal as the cost was about rock bottom for a set of 6L6 tubes of any make. I do have another amplifier that these work beautifully in. They do sound really nice once burnt in and rebiased.

    GREAT 6L6 Tubes!

    I've been using these tubes for power amp replacements for about 10 years now. Both professional and amateur players love these tubes. In real time swaps with other brands, these always shine. There's been no returns or blown tubes of this type in my shop. Glad we can get more!
