For me, tubes bring out the realism of the sound of voices and instruments. If I close my eyes, on a good recording, it sounds like the voice or instrument are in the room with me. Also, it conveys the emotion of the performance to you. You can actually feel it, so it's a sound and emotional experience, which is what watching live music is. Transistor equipment can be really good too, but for me, not to the same degree.
What do you know and how do you like the RCA 5963 Black Plates?
I just rolled a nice set of 1957 RCA 5963 black plates with foil D getters. I don't have many hours on them yet, but I was surprised at the sound quality and value for the price on the used market.
I don't know much about this tube, other than it being a substitute for a 12AU7. What do you know about them and how do you like them?
Thanks!
