Re: Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 overrated?

I agree with Bambi and the other posters here; it all depends on context. In the context of my system, the Bugle Boys are by far and away the most airy, full, and articulate tubes I have used (a variety of Amperex 6922s, Mullard 6DJ8, Telefunken (have forgotten the labelling offhand, but they are West German), along with the modern Sovtek, Ei etc. equivalents. No comparison. With the Bugle Boys in, it sounds musicians in my room, simple as that. If only they were still in production (which of course brings us to the effect of aging on tubes, metallurgy etc). Hey, if you hear a difference and you like it, go with it!
