I have lots of experience with RCA tubes, just not the 6350 tube.
All the RCA's I own are excellent tubes, not always best in class so to speak, but very consistent sound which tends to have a large soundstage, nice mids and a little rounded bass.
But within tube designations those characteristics change a bit. The 5814 and 12AU7 sound different even though the 5814 is just a ruggedized version, but the structure is different. It's a little more focused, less round bass and I've never had a microphonic one, but it happens.
I don't think you will disappointed with any early RCA tube, but each designation will have its own character.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul! -
I purchased the RCA 6350 above just to roll it in the phono stage of the Joule...We'll see how it changes the flavor when I get it...
