RE: Best Sounding NOS 5Y3GT? Let's hear your opinion, please.....

As all the posts indicated, there are other options beside 5y3gt with all there respective virtues and considerations. In answer to your question about the best sounding 5y3gt, I recommend the Visseaux 5y3gt (better than most American versions short of Western Electric. I recall Tubeworld had some stock of these. The caveat to this recommendation is that the 5y3gt is an optimal tube type for your application. Be careful of using 5r4gys in a shared power supply the has a mix of directly and indirectly heated tubes as this often results in poor bass performance. This is not evident immediately but it tends affect the performance of the 5r4gy over time. Most people don't notice this as the deterioration in performance is gradual.
