I am conteplating getting a pair of Philco 6AS7G (believe 50's). These are made by RCA and would therefore sound exactly the same, or should I look for another pair? Budget could be stretched to $150 for a better pair if available.
Rebranding was very common. And in fact, Philco didn't make tubes. They made radios and televisions. So in this case, they bought a bunch of tubes from RCA, put their own name of them, and used them as replacement parts. So if you want a pair of RCA, these rebranded Philcos should be perfectly fine. But if you want something different, you might want to pass on these....
