another vote for black plates, I used the RCA Command series myself.

I have an RCA Black Plate on order. As well as two black plate RCA 12AU7's. What is the particular 'magic' in the black plate over greys? Is it in the tube itself, or does the black plate design represent a particular time period that is more desirable? Or something else?
BTW, I have this Sylvania version now. Fed Ex just dropped it off. About to roll it in and see how it compares...
Andrew
Well damn!!! That Sylvania was humming so bad when I put it in, I thought my amp was broken! Could hear if 20 feet away!!! Hmmmm... it was bought from one of the most reputable dealers, and was thoroughly tested.
Packed EXTREMELY well in shipping. Could it still have picked up some damage? Or maybe not all 5751's will be suitable drop ins for my amp?
Andrew
That is the grey plate GE 5751. Try and find the GE black plate version from the 1950s they are much better IMO, although the one you got is still a fine tube.
Enjoy the roll!
