Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: I fully agree...

"...that system synergy is the determining factor when it comes to tube choices. My experience with the 13D5's is quite similar to yours. But I can understand that they could sound great in specific applications. Horses for courses..."

I've had the opposite experience with the Brimar 13D5's. They are very clear, clean, quick and musical in the circuits I've tried them in. You are so right about system synergy. Room acoustics are going to be a major factor, too. With tubes, you just don't know for sure until you've heard them yourself in your system. The rare, hyped and pricey tube might sound just okay, while the $5 new-production Chinese tube might be the perfect fit sonically.
