1. I havn't heard those - just another example of the bewildering array of tubes these guys made...

2. Many of them were. Though I can imagine the component or system out there where the Sovtek is the perfect tube. The improvement offered by some of the tubes was quite small while for others it was quite dramatic...

3. I would bet they are Sylvanias - if they dont have ridges on top and if they have the shield ablove the upper mica spacer which is a perfectly flat disc, they defintely are...

4. I avoided ranking because the best in your system could be different from mine. The point is that many were very good and if you stumble on any of the ones I commented more positively on than the others they could be worth trying. Also I tried to identify where tubes had different personalities (ie., brighter or more powerful bass, more or less forward) since that might help give some indication of what a tube might be like so you can judge which miight best match your system as a useful starting point. Overall, you would be hard pressed to go fundamentally wrong with any number of the Siemens or Amperexes...

Hope this helps,

Joe
