>>>Here's an interesting tidbit. last week I bought a pair of 2A3s-sylvania rebranded as Philco from one vendor, and a pair of RCA grey plates rebranded as sylvania from another vendor. Both sets are identical, down to the holes in the mica. I believe both are RCA grey plate.<<<

Doesn't that tick you off? I mean when you think that you have found a new brand/different tube. Only to find it is identical to something you already have. Oh, except for the label and box! I'm afraid that the box and label don't add to sound quality at all. Though some boxes look pretty darn cool. While others look as if they have been to hell and back....hey is that tube really new in that ole' box you sometimes have to think.
