Just did a back to back again with these tubes. Every time I listen with VT60, I find the punch and kick stronger. Every time I listen to the ATS25, I find it really rich in tone and glorious. Mind you they are not all that different but those traits are what comes to mind when I try them.

Even though I said that the Russian G-807 appealed with it's clarity and slight brighter, the GEC texture are what sets them apart and in a league of their own. These tubes are good enough to remain in the amp for a long time.

VT60 it is then for me. Thanks for this!

Someday when you get a chance to hear both, I hope you will prove me wrong. They might be Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito but they are really twins.

Those early WE 300B are priceless. Bcowen has a quad and he seems to have disappeared. Vanished without a trace.

@UntilThen EL38 look so similar to 807 , as you have both, how do they compare ?

When you're comparing Philips EL38 and GEC 807, you're really comparing EL34 and 807 in a way because EL38 is a predecessor of EL34. By the way EL38 astonishing treble reminds me of EL34 metal base.

The main differences here are:-

GEC 807 - more mid centric, lovely for vocals and a bit more comforting in treble. More lush in tone.

Philips EL38 - more prominent in treble and a little bit scooped out mid ( i.e a bit recessed). I also think it's a little brighter compared to GEC 807.

There isn't one out there. Only 6s3p to 6j5.

Considering trying 5A-152M as drivers and / or power tubes in UltimatE. The data sheet I found here did not specify amplification factor, but the post here suggests it may be about 40mu in triode mode. Can anyone corroborate this estimate is applicable in UltimatE, at least as drivers in 6J5 slot as these are triodes as well? Thanks!

Hai has been using it but the adapters were a once off created for him by Mrs X.

I think the 40mu is correct, the same as C3G. I use both as driver and power tubes. They sound fantastic and one of my favorite combinations. Contact Mrs X before she closes her store on eBay at the end of this month.

Contact Deyan. His adapters are nicer.
