I assure you that my experience has very little meaning to others as I do not look for “better tube” but look for a tube that would go the best in my specific DSET application and in very custom application of Macondo MF channel. Also, a local guy snatched my Sun Audio amps and I have no way to play my DHT tubes full range…

With all lower MF range magnificence of YO186 it a bit roll of at it’s HF and this is exactly what I would like to punch in my MF channel. The best German RE604-type and other 4V tubes are more balanced. Marconi are strange, Philips sounds like cotton, one Mullard and one PX4 that I got turned out to be very much used  and not as fresh as I would like them to be.

Here is what I got a tube that so far answered my play - it was type 45. I bought a few RAC and Tang-Sol used and one pair of brand new Philco from 30-40s. this 45 are very good, particularly the new Philco. They are more extended then my 2A3 and my 4V tube and they are more EXCITING I would say. Also, they are incredibly clean.  I will stay for a while with 45s and I do like what I am getting with them. Any, specific 45 that you might suggest me to try?
