Two of my best SET's are sounding different. The 500mW WE102D, WE101D, RGN1064 has a nice, smooth sound. But the REN904, RE604, 5R4GY has a "grainy" sound.
I suspect the indirectly heated REN904 is guilty, and thinking of change to a directly heated: Ca, Cf, 3A/110B, WE102D or other.
But first I would like to hear opinions from somebody with experience from this. What creates the "grain"?
