    Well said Brock,,the thing about tubes is that you just have to try them(roll)in various applications,,sometimes you just "hit" a combination that just is a notch above what you expected,thats the fun part.I've been playing around with some 12AX7's,,and while I like the smooth plate teles',,some Tung Sol 5751's just stomped all over them in my particular application,,,sometimes it's just hit and miss for me,,but the hunt is half the fun.
    Have fun. :smile:

    George, have you tried the Sylvania 3 mice BP 5751 ? If so curious how they compare to the Tung SOls.

    Oh....how I do love a cherry getting popped, then immediately moving onto a full blown tube ****.

    Life is good. Good on ya'.
