2A3 Tube Opinions


Looking to add a pair of 2A3's for my amps that are full/meaty leaning towards the vintage sound.  Currently running EML Solid Plates and love them, but looking for more weight to the sound.  Thanks for any advice.

Most of the nos tubes will have a thicker, denser, sound due to a less extended high end. My RCA's sound nice. Another approach is to reduce grain and glare by upgrading the amp's fuse to a Synergistic Research Black fuse and the wall outlet to a Oyaide R-1 or a SR RED or BLACK. TheOyaide has a darker sound. The SR outlets provide a sense of more music and richer denser harmonics.
