Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Good viewpoints

Both of you fellows offer thorough and refreshing views of the various tubes and qualities, also pointing to some historic types. I too have found varying quality among the most well respected "classic" producers product and modern Chinese and Russian types. The Russian tubes can be some of the most irregular, but some are quite nice. I like the 6550EH both for sound and durability, but also find the Chinese KT88 very sweet and musical if a bit more fragile. I have shocked more than one customer by replacing Telefunken 12AX7 tubes with Chinese types which produced a lower noise and more extended high frequency response. That's not everyone's cup of tea and certainly there are no bragging rights or stories about how a unique, vintage pair was aquired at great expense, but for their price they can be amazing!
BTW, if you can master English grammer, no one will ridicule you!
