Both 5998 and 7236 have good 3d rendition and instruments separation. Soundstage is great on both. 5998 is full bodied, an impactful bass that seems to extends lower. 7236 has a leaner tone, a harder hitting mid bass impact and generally a more surgical, clinical presentation than the 5998. They are quite distinctly different where you hear it. I do like both.

I agree with your comparison and I also like them both. However, I prefer the 7236 - probably because I'm running them with the HD800S. When I first got the S you correctly predicted the 7236s would probably be a better match.

Yeah? That's no surprise. Led Zeppelin is finally set free.

  @whirlwind 5998A does look like GE 6AS7GA but there's nowhere to know they are the same until you hear it. I think they are different. Here they are listed separately and 5998A is claim to be medium gain whereas the 6AS7GA is low gain. post #1
 
This seller has been selling the 5998A for a while.

The GE5998A tubes may still sound good, especially if you like the GE 6AS7GA tubes....but please do not mistake them for the sound of the 5998 tubes with the domino plates

I know the 5998A are not 5998 but I'm not sure if the 5998A are the 6AS7GA :)

I don't want to make a practice of posting videos here I have already posted on the other thread. But the following video is one of my favorites and always lifts my mood. I have a couple more but I'll wait to post them. Then I'll try to find some new videos worthy of posting. But with my taste in pop music having been forged back in the 50s and 60s, something worth posting is not easy to find.:xf_eek:

There is something about Collette that is absolutely mesmerizing to me, the drummer reminds me of Robin Williams and the two guitar players are real characters. The first song, "The Big Keeps You Rockin", was recorded by Fats Domino in the 50s and then seems to have been forgotten. Mainly, it's fun for me to see a younger generation dig back into history and perform these "oldies" with such appreciation of the past.


She's delightful!
