I read the Joe's tube Lore page too,and immediately scored a pair of Sylvania JAN gold series 5751s off Ebay.First let me say that they were cheap! Next,,,,,,drum roll,,,,,,,
WOW! I put them in my modded Dynaco Pas line stage and it was absolutely shocking!
The veil was lifted,the clouds parted and music came out.Literally out too. The sound stage came so far forward it was scary. At first I wasn't sure what I was hearing.It seemed like there was more gain instead of the 70% that the 5751 has to the 12AX7,but the vocals were so much further forward that it sounded louder.Weird,but cool.Transparency,inner detail and sweetness.A system transformation.
Any and all that have 12AX7s in their preamps need to try this. I can't imagine going back.
