What experience have you had with 5814a Tubes?


I've had a super positive experience with 1950s NOS 5814a tubes, triple MICA black plates.  I think they sound superb.

I have used 5814s on occasion and find them to very well balanced in terms of frequency extension and having a clear strong voice (that's a good thing).  I know I tried several others but none were as good as the RCA.

My preference is still to use the Amperex 7316, which I was fortunate to collect before the price became ridiculous and so many counterfeits were on the market. Why the 7316 , it's a subjective thing really I just prefer the way they sound.
