Which brand of 45 tubes do you use?


Can anyone using 45 tube amplifiers share their knowledge about what manufactures make them and your impressions of the quality. An impression of the sound quality in your system would be useful. I know that there is NOS, EML and Sophia Electric 45s. Any others?
Thanks!

Give Andy at vintage tube services a ring. He listens to a bunch of nos 45s and has a healthy inventory. To me not a lot of difference between shoulder types that measure well. And they are not ridiculous expensive. The globes are certainly excellent but at a cost. I have not heard the new production 45 but not opposed. I’ve heard some really good new production like the Shuguang WE6SN7.
