there are some tubes, like amperex and telefunken that are fairly consistent in there sonic characteristics. in fact i have found many tubes having the same "flavor" or affect upon sound, regardless of the component, which is why i ususally favor the following brands: mullard, rca and brimar.
Jeez I started this thread so long ago I dont even remember it. How did it get revived? BTW-I have a tube amp now and have swapped out the stock tubes for some gold lions and other nice sounding tubes. Massive improvement.
One day, while waiting for my pasta order to go, I spotted a poster with every type of pasta imaginable represented. When I asked the cook why so many types, he responded: "Centuries of boredom."
