Found no evidence to the JW`s being better than the non JW`s of the same era, may be tube variance. Of the 5 pair I had (4 still have), my non JW 47/49 pair is my favorite. Could be the perfectly matched 1959 JW coming into play.. My other sets fit in to the too close to tell any difference.
Very true. I have two pairs of WE 396As and one pair of JW 396A. The WEs sound the same but the JWs just has more pop to instruments. I’m thinking tube variance as well.
