A shootout day, Joe's Tube Lore put to the test!

Got some new tubes today! A couple more Ken Rad 12ax7 with the Carbon Nickel plates. LOVE EM. I now have a quad, and plan to buy as as many good ones at decent prices as I can find. I like them that much.

But, I had to pit them up against a Joe Tube Lore legend. I also received a couple of the Gold Label Sylvania black plate triple mica 5751's.

NICE, NICE, NICE sounding tube! It is a very CLOSE race here. I am not sure if the Sylvania is winning, but it certainly deserves its rep. As far as 5751's go, yeah, this is the best I have heard. Better than the other handful of 5751 jewels in my collection.. that is, several Raytheon Windmill getter black plates, GE 5 stars, and at least a half dozen JAN GE 5751s, that for some reason I have a CRAZY love affair with. Kevin Deal got me started on that affair when he sent me my first GE green silkscreen military 5751.
