I have tried many tubes and the Sylvania Metal Base are the most alive, dynamic, full bodied and offer the best and most controlled bass. The Tung Sol tubes are wonderful too, but not as good as the Metal Base tubes. v The Ken Rads are the best on vocals, but sound rather rubbery or less controlled in the bass than the Sylvanias.
The Sylvania Bad Boys are good too and I usually use them in the second and third slot and the Metal Base tubes in the sonically critucal first position.
