[Amps] SB200 on 6m & my take

[Glen Zook]

The "Taylors" that R.F. Parts sells are Chinese.  R. F. Parts acquired the Taylor trademark a while back.  However, the 572B tubes that Taylor brands with the Taylor trademark are supposedly "special" runs from the Chinese sources and supposedly are of a higher quality than the "run of the mill" Chinese tubes.

I tried a pair of those Chinese ones, ended up selling them off and getting a pair of Taylors from RF Parts.  The Chinese ones were junk.  I also heard that they aren't not made for horizontal use as in the SB-200 because they don't have the proper internal support and will sag when they get hot.
