Great sounding but….
I received a premium amp built November 23 with a set of 6l6 redbase from TAD. They sounded fantastic but less than 2 months I had a tube fail. Now I am aware that can happen but for the premium cost I would hope that could be caught at QC.
Hi ed536m, the QC can catch only what is present at the time ofthe QC. But you enjoy a 6 months warranty on TAD brand tubes. Please ask for warranty replacement at your supplier!
The best 6L6 YES! it is
The 6L6GCM sounds very transparent, I use it on Mcintosh MC240, I also have a 6L6WGC and it work on my Two-Rock guitar amp, but for Hi-Fi systems the 6l6GCM is the winner perfect!
Best 6L6GCM-STR ever !
TAD says best ever. These being the first I have tried, I do not know. I do know these are staying in my system, and I am buying another pair for stash -
Best 6L6GC ever
Love theme! I installed theme in a MC240 I think it's true, they are the best 6L6GC ever made. No more NOS for me.
6L6GCM-STR: I’m speechless!
REDBASE 6L6GCM-STR: I’m speechless! Simply perfect quality and construction, warm and very defined sound. Surely the 6L6GCM-STR Redbase will improve HI FI power amp response too
One great tube!
This is by far, one of the best, new production tubes on the market today. I have tried many tubes and can with certainty that this almost rivals the Sylvania 6l6GC double halo getter...almost, but at a quarter of the price! Time will tell if these hold up over time but I am enjoying the ride so far!
Fantastic in EVH 5150 III Stealth
6L6GCM-STR REDBASE TAD PREMIUM Selected is the best 6L6 tube.
I have a very small combo self made, with Chinese tubes, one 6L6 and two ECC83, 8" Jensen and solid wood case open backside.
First upgrade I have changed the two ECC83 with TAD7025 WA, obtaining a sweeter tone and more rounded overdrive.
Then I have decided to change also the 6L6 with 6L6GCM redbase selected, that I have requested with low transconductance for the better headroom, after a suggestion of TAD's service.
Put 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE TAD PREMIUM Selected in my amp and this is the fact:
- incredible and wonderful sound, there is a dramatic difference with the previous Chinese tube 6L6GC,
- more defined sound, more headroom, more presence, more harmonics, expecially in triode configuration
- more sound pressure and headroom in tetrode configuration
Many compliments because surely your product is one of the best and what you declare is really what a client can obtain: TAD 6L6GCM-STR is an effective upgrade for every amplifier using 6L6GC, it's true, also for a small open combo with 5watt.

Array ( [articleID] => 4209 [articleDetailsID] => 4741 [ordernumber] => RT431 [highlight] => [description] => 6V6GT-CZ TAD PREMIUM Matched [description_long] =>The TAD™ 6V6GT-CZ has been added to the TAD Premium line in 2020. It is a glass envelope beam pentode having a plate dissipation rating of 14 Watts with convection cooling. It is intended for audio frequency power amplification service in either pentode, ultra-linear or triode connection and single or push-pull/parallel applications.
The TAD™ 6V6GT-CZ has an extended plate voltage range which makes it ideal for higher power amplifiers like Jim Kelly and as an electric reliable substitute for overload conditions which are often seen with guitar amplifiers. Close manufacturing specification tolerances and improved processing provide enhanced reliability and superior sonic performance.
The TAD™ 6V6GT-CZ is designed to be a direct replacement for any 6V6, 6V6GTA, 6V6GTY, 6V6Y, 5871, 7184 or equivalent.Due to the higher voltage withstand the size is enlarged compared to other 6V6 tubes.Tested, selected and matched by TAD in Germany![esd] => [articleName] => 6V6GT-CZ TAD PREMIUM Matched [taxID] => 1 [tax] => 19 [instock] => 0 [isAvailable] => 1 [hasAvailableVariant] => 1 [weight] => 0 [shippingtime] => [pricegroupActive] => 1 [pricegroupID] => 1 [length] => 12 [height] => 5 [width] => 5 [laststock] => [additionaltext] => Single [datum] => 2020-01-10 [update] => 2024-04-24 [sales] => 114 [filtergroupID] => [priceStartingFrom] => 39,80 [pseudopricePercent] => [sVariantArticle] => [sConfigurator] => 1 [metaTitle] => [shippingfree] => [suppliernumber] => [notification] => 1 [ean] => 4251594910817 [keywords] => [sReleasedate] => 2022-05-26 [template] => [attributes] => Array ( [core] => Shopware\Bundle\StoreFrontBundle\Struct\Attribute Object ( [storage:protected] => Array ( [id] => 4754 [articleID] => 4209 [articledetailsID] => 4741 [attr1] => [attr2] => [attr3] => [attr4] => [attr5] => [attr6] => [attr7] => [attr8] => [attr9] => [attr10] => [attr11] => [attr12] => [attr13] => [attr14] => [attr15] => [attr16] => [attr17] => [attr18] => [attr19] => [attr20] => [satag_gefahrgut] => 0 [satag_rohs] => 0 [satag_alte_shop_id] => [satag_alte_artikel_nr] => [satag_volumengewicht] => 0.06 [satag_restposten] => 0 [satag_sperrgut] => 0 [satag_invalidate_cache] => 1 [nimbits_article_emotion_above] => [nimbits_article_emotion_below] => [nimbits_article_emotion_desc_above] => [nimbits_article_emotion_desc_below] => [nimbits_article_emotion_above_footer] => [faqid] => 5 [priority] => 5000 [replacement_article_ordernumber] => [arboro_manufacturer_country] => China [arboro_grundpreis] => ) ) [satag_properties] => Shopware\Bundle\StoreFrontBundle\Struct\Attribute Object ( [storage:protected] => Array ( [Tube Type] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [option_id] => 8 [optionName] => Tube Type [value_id] => 69 [optionValue] => 6V6/6P6P-J/CV509/CV-511 [value_path] => ) ) [Socket] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [option_id] => 9 [optionName] => Socket [value_id] => 1240 [optionValue] => 8 Pin(Octal) [value_path] => ) ) ) ) [marketing] => Shopware\Bundle\StoreFrontBundle\Struct\Product\MarketingAttribute Object ( [isNew:protected] => [isTopSeller:protected] => 1 [comingSoon:protected] => [storage:protected] => Array ( ) ) ) [allowBuyInListing] => [attr1] => [attr2] => [attr3] => [attr4] => [attr5] => [attr6] => [attr7] => [attr8] => [attr9] => [attr10] => [attr11] => [attr12] => [attr13] => [attr14] => [attr15] => [attr16] => [attr17] => [attr18] => [attr19] => [attr20] => [satag_gefahrgut] => 0 [satag_rohs] => 0 [satag_alte_shop_id] => [satag_alte_artikel_nr] => [satag_volumengewicht] => 0.06 [satag_restposten] => 0 [satag_sperrgut] => 0 [satag_invalidate_cache] => 1 [nimbits_article_emotion_above] => [nimbits_article_emotion_below] => [nimbits_article_emotion_desc_above] => [nimbits_article_emotion_desc_below] => [nimbits_article_emotion_above_footer] => [faqid] => 5 [priority] => 5000 [replacement_article_ordernumber] => [arboro_manufacturer_country] => China [arboro_grundpreis] => [supplierName] => Tube Amp Doctor GmbH [supplierImg] => https://www.tubeampdoctor.com/media/image/99/c6/62/TAD_Logo_RZ_2021_72dpi.png [supplierID] => 3 [supplierDescription] => Tube Amp Doctor GmbH [supplier_attributes] => Array ( [core] => Shopware\Bundle\StoreFrontBundle\Struct\Attribute Object ( [storage:protected] => Array ( [id] => 1 [supplierID] => 3 [nimbits_category_emotion_above] => [nimbits_category_emotion_below] => [nimbits_category_emotion_above_footer] => [nimbits_category_emotion_above_menu] => [six_seo_text] => ) ) ) [newArticle] => [sUpcoming] => [topseller] => 1 [valFrom] => 1 [valTo] => [from] => 1 [to] => [price] => 39,80 [pseudoprice] => 0 [referenceprice] => 0 [has_pseudoprice] => [price_numeric] => 39.8 [pseudoprice_numeric] => 0 [price_attributes] => Array ( ) [pricegroup] => EK [minpurchase] => 1 [maxpurchase] => 2000 [purchasesteps] => 1 [purchaseunit] => 0 [referenceunit] => 1 [packunit] => piece [unitID] => 9 [sUnit] => Array ( [unit] => Stck.
