ZZZzzzzz..... you want an argument !
Reality tv not cutting for you anymore, Audiogon working fine, no lawns to mow, b!y@tchez to hoe, charlie to blow... ????
I'll bite, the tube voiced best to sound best to YOU in your amp and system.
I've heard puny flat 45's,
slamming tight 300B's,
turgid slow 2A3's
& dynamite 845's
and vice-versa
...and that's just talking of only the more pedestrian of tubes, well almost...
Tim De Paravicini for example has designed commercial amps with paralleled 12ax7's or EL84's and others with EL509's & 833's which challenge conventional sonic preconceptions of what sounds like what, tubes or sand or DHT or not.
To pursue this discourse further is futile until you have SMOKED A POWERFUL PSYCHOTROPIC PLANT and discovered yourself listening, in another room:
