When tested by the @Paladin79 Project it becomes best I believe given the many listeners involved

But they're going for accuracy...some listen for fun

Oh man.. so many.. depends on my mood. Those two spots at the top are nice. And belong there. I'd put the 63' Melz a touch above the CBS 5692. (Maybe more than a touch) I did the blind test with a few tubes and almost picked the mouse ears over the CBS..but the CBS came out on top. No Melz were in that mix. And it was not 50 tubes!

They're good, sold my copy though. Really fast tube. Might grab a mark ii but am more curious about the Sophia

Heard they are SS sounding due to their speed, no idea about the Sophia but definitely curious about the 63 Melz if I can spot one.

Good to see the CBS 5692 getting some love. I've not tried a extensive set of NOS 6SN7's (no Ken Rad's) but I've tried the newer PSVanes and some Sylvania Chrome Domes and the 5692 are the best I've heard. In my Feliks Euforia they are dead silent, no hum at all and the soundstage and imaging are just amazing!

The tubes will be the favorites of a group, and I was taught long ago even subjective things can be quantified. I doubt seriously I would post results, then individuals would want to argue what their favorite is, or why were the tests not conducted this way or that lol. Also no one wants to find out a tube they know and love may not have made the cut or did not finish toward the top. It is best to let individuals make up their own minds and be happy with what they have. Many of these tubes are hard to find or cost much more than most folks want to spend.

Yup...I'd be very upset to know my Fotons are not the best for violins...
