Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Which 2A3s and other output tubes have you tried so far, and how do they sound and compare in your amp/system?

Also, remember that you may have to tweak operating points a little to get the most out of any of the tubes you try.

I think I mentioned that I actually liked the Sovtek 2A3 because it could effect a great range of "attitudes", including glorious, placid, bland, dirty, rude and aggressive, as each was called for, and I do not mean by adjusting operating points bit according to the stories of the music, while fixed at the "proper" operating points.  It was never as "pristine" as the old RCA, but it was not limited like that tube, either.

Again, I last heard the Sovtek a couple of years ago, so I don't know if current production is the same.

Best,
Paul S
