| 12ax7 vs 5751 hiya mikirob, i`ve had those on my mind too! i`ve liked the ehkt88`s in there but when i bought them i`d only done limited research into all the tubes. i`m doing a much more in depth research now. i ordered a matched pair of ge5751 black plate d g... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 another quick update and the best one yet! when i was tube rolling i tried the brimars and the rca vt231 together. i had the brimars in v1 and v4 and the rca`s in v2 and v3 on my amp. they sounded pretty awful! well i didnt realise that swapping t... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 another thing i must add......i seem to sit there now listening to music with a big stupid grin on my face most of the time! what a way to escape the stresses and strifes in this life! | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 wow thank you guys for the wealth of information. the psvane tubes i`m currently using sound just fantastic but i`m sure they`re limited in the soundstage width and depth. i`ve played around with all the other tubes and so far the brimars have had... | |

| yaqin mc100b tube rolling hiya drumhead, i did a little more tube rolling today. i tried the brimar/sylvania gtb`s. i have to say this is the best pairing so far and i have a little extra bass and the top end is nicer. yes the midrange here and with the shuguangs really is... | |
| musical fidelity nu-vista 3d cd player hi again jimf, i changed the 12ax7`s for the grant fidelity matched tubes and there`s actually a world of difference! the grant fidelity are way better. much clearer and the bass is more solid and i notice acoustic guitars have more of a ring to t... | |
| musical fidelity nu-vista 3d cd player by the way i got the psvanes off ebay factory matched. after doing some research i found grant fidelity`s site that does a more in depth matching. i`m using the ebay tubes at the moment. once i`ve found the right combination of tubes for my amp an... | |
| musical fidelity nu-vista 3d cd player jimf when you were breaking in the psvane tubes, did you get all the changes in sound earlier on? between 5 and 10 hours of using mine the sound kept changing, sometimes quite dramatically! none of it bad at all and a couple of times it was just s... |
