>>I remember reading about someone getting good results with 5751s not too long ago on this very page with the identical jolida.<<

Me too. I wonder who that could be?

Right now I've got the Raytheon 5751's running and I don't think they will ever come out. I think it has a nice balance between detail and smoothness when compared to the GE JAN 5751 which sounded a little more warm and smooth with less detail.

I'm currently comparing some 12AT7's: Brimar black plates and Amperex BugleBoy France. The brimar is a bit brighter with less midrange smoothness when compared to the Ampe (the breath of vocalists was starting to distract me). The Amperex just sounds warmer and smoother than the brimar. I prefer the combinations of Amperex AT7 and Raytheon 5751 *or* the GE JAN 5751 and Brimar AT7. But those are just my taste preferences.

Please let us know how your experience with 5751's turns out for you.

Have fun,
Tom S.
