So when you write it is in comparison to the stock TS, and then write (for example):LOL. Some sweet milk chocolate.
The stock Tung-Sol is my point of reference and I think it sounds great.
So, compared to my stock Tung-Sol here's my notes after switching to that particular RCA yesterday afternoon:
RCA 1948 6SN7GT, Grey Glass, Black Plate, Short Bottle
Bass: Full, impactful, warm
Mids: Rich, warm, transparent
Highs: Soft, smooth, never harsh, maybe lacking a little sparkle when called for
Transients: Good, but not ultra-sharp
Air: Plenty, up and down the frequency range
Detail: The warmth and airiness may contribute to a very slight obscuring of very fine detail
Dynamics: Excellent, never gets congested, handles ffff with aplomb
Image: Stable
Sound Stage: Players at just the right distance from my ear, not recessed, not forward
Top to Bottom Balance: Weighted towards the bottom of the spectrum, sumptuous string and woodwind tone,
horns maybe not quite as brassy or bright as they should/could be.
Long Term Listen-ability: All day
Only 9 more tubes to go.
"Bass: Full, impactful, warm"
Do you mean to say that the stock TS is less full, less impactful and less warm?!
I am asking because your description is very good but does not look like it is in comparison to the other tube.
