How many chicken must I sacrifice?

It feel you have the Ferrari and Lambo of the tube world.  All those gems must cost a furtune.

Received RCA 5692 today and after listening to this tube for about 15 min (wow) I went back to the same seller -I knew he had another 5692 just brown base and bought it ,..should I prepare myself for disappointment ,how good is CBS brown base 5692 in comparison to RCA  ?

less warm ?
 
I think many prefer it to the RCA version.

^^ first thing I noticed about the RCA was great /sparkly highs and very impact-full bass ,great instrument separation...I wouldn't say it was very warm
Thanks

I definitely like the CBS 5692 better than the RCA. More transparent/less wooly sounding, but lots of tube magic to its sound.

Another one who prefers the brown base over the red but have they really got to $200?
