| Tube rolling suggestions Thanks for everyone's input. I purchased a pair of NOS RCA 5751 3 mica black plate tubes from Jeff and they really made a positive difference, primarily better imaging and tighter base. | |
| Tube rolling suggestions Thanks for the great responses, I have recently read Joe's Tube Lore and definitely want to try the 5751 input tube. There sure seems to be a big difference in price. I know it is all subjective but is there that much difference between the 5751 J... | |
