Based on these postings, I have a quad of 7581A coming on Monday. I've been using the Gold Lion KT77 as my power tubes, they are truly outstanding and no complaints at all.....I'll post a comparison of the two tubes eventually....to me, more tone is always good if not syrup.
Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular
If you run 6l6/EL34 variants, I HIGHLY recommend trying this tube out. The Tung Sol 7581A reissue. I've had these for a good bit of time and compared them against KT150s, EL34s (several brands), KT88s, and maybe another that I'm forgetting. They are a mere $30 a pop and they are the best tube I have heard. I know that's a brave bold statement to make as there is so much competition out there and the tube is very much under the radar from what I can tell.
After having these around for a long time (and in and out of the amp), I had them in and was nearly spellbound one night by how great they sounded upon reentry into my amp. I did a search and could only find one review, which I agree wholeheartedly with.

I am nearly incredulous there isn't hype out there about this tube. Simply my favorite tube. I thought I'd pass this along as it may be much cheaper to give them a whirl then fuss with a much more expensive power cord, cable, or other tweak.
