I really hate to say it, but I have reservations about the
white print 60's vintage Amperex's even being the same tube.
I know they were purportedly just better matched section to section
and quieter than 6922 or 6DJ8's.However, the rest of the family has a strong sonic resemblance
be it 6922's, Bugle Boys, Pinched Waists, D-getters or small/large
ring getters, later orange print or world logo's, etc.
The 7308's sound far different. The soundstage is
way deeper,with a farther less immediate in-your-face presentation.
It has not been subtle in my various testing.I know it's heretical to suggest, but the USA 7308's do sound more different IMHO than any of the other Amperex's, be they Holland or US production. Whether or not Hollands sound better than USA production, seems to also depend on the specific system and component they're used in.
Others with this same experience?
