I use RCA 5751's and 12AU7's in my M180's, and RCA 5692's in my 99 Magnum preamp. I think the system sounds great. Strong bass, rich mid-range, silky highs with lots of detail but without sounding sibilant. I have Mundorf S/G/O capacitors in my Silverline speakers, and interconnects and speaker cables that transmit a lot of detail. Tubes that are described as being very "airy" weren't a good match for my system - too much sibilance.
5751 tubes in Rogue Tempest?
Anyone Subbed their 12ax7 tubes out for some 5751s?
Joe's Tube Lore (FAQ section of AudioAsylum) says these tubes are much better than most all 12ax7 tubes.
I got the go ahead from Mark O'Brien @Rogue, so I was wondering if there are any sucess or failure stories out there.
thanks.
