I wasn't aware Jack sold EML tubes. I'd rather buy one from him than anywhere else because I know if something goes wrong with it he'll help me out.

I'll do a final listen next Saturday (3/20), and then I'll drop in my mesh plate and write up my impressions/comparison of both. It seems like only yesterday I received the solid glowing golden baby... but all good things must come to an end. |

The 'extra' detail of the solid plate really has no weight here, since it's really more of a 'listen closer and you'll hear more' sort of thing. Although, I must say that the glow of the mesh plate is quite beautiful. |

The new redesigned EML 5U4G Mesh has a clear top not a silver top, like my EML 274B Solid and Mesh and the Picture on Georges web site of the old EML 5U4G Mesh. ss |
