RE: The illogic of rare parts

I think there is some magic in the round plate designs.

Never had any 6SN7 round plates, but my SET amp uses 6J5 for front-end tubes, basically 1/2 of a 6SN7.

I've tried many types, and keep going back to the ST version (6J5G)with round plates.

Later 6J5GT had flat plates like some 6SN7's. They sound OK, too, but the round plates won the audition. Fortunately for me, they're not that rare.
