I kind of like GE, with their balanced sections and reduced microphonics, but I guess that's just me :

I had to pursue this on behalf of the newly purchased LTA MicroZOTL MZ3 headphone amplifier….:

Those are indeed wonderful tubes and not easy to find from the 50’s and early 60's. Great balance over the entire sound spectrum. I bought a fairly large group of the 63's at one point but they did not last long since the demand was high. If you buy enough you can get matched pairs and matched quads.

I cannot make them out, does that have the etched dots on it?

I think you should jointly start it and wait for the replies to come rolling in so the two of you can answer any and all questions.

As for you Tom, you can start the Melz thread. You already have materials to fill 100 of pages

Should I start a 'The Reference GE tube thread' or I'll get Bcowen to start it.

The one with the bigger collection of GE tubes should start it

There are a couple years I do not own yet, I do not want to start a buying frenzy.

Or in a budget ‘chi-fi’ solid-state thread…

My apologies, I actually made a mistake. I thought I would cleverly bamboozle everyone with a Canadian 12v heater variant, but it turns out that GE rebranded Rogers rather than the other way around... So that's a Rogers in fact.

Oh ok lol, it did look a bit odd to me. Mind you I have only bought GE 6sn7's to win a bet with @bcowen so for a while there I owned quite a few.

Someday GE tubes will regin when there are no other tubes left, not sure if I will be around for that day...we all must own at least a couple non 5998A ones...

They have to line up for the thread before stocking up for the thread…asking a bit much?…

The GE kingdom will resemble Scar’s kingdom in The Lion King…
