Good post tvr:
I totally agree that it is the interaction of any one tube with the rest of the tubes in the system and the circuit the tube is placed in that determines the "sound" of the given tube.
IMO the GE TMGP is a good tube--in the right system. It is definitely in the rich,full,smooth camp as far as 5751's go---and if that is something your system needs it will do well. My system generally needs more of a fast,dynamic,detail type input tube so I generally favour the GE TMBP (which I think is almost the polar opposite of the GE TMGP), the Raytheon Windmill or the Tung-sol 5751.
I also favour the Sylvania TMGP over the GE TMGP. They are in similar sound camps but I think the Sylvania is a little less smooth and rounded.When I use JJ KT77,or GEC KT66 (output tubes with very extended top ends) I prefer the Sylv. TMGP over even the Windmill as an input tube.
Isn't tube rolling fun?!
