I'm printing this out and keeping it as my reference guide for my next phase of tube rolling. Thank you for being so clear and precise.

Exactly. The 5998 is the best all-rounder, so it gets the most play. I usually listen to several genres during one session, so this tube does well with them. Good warmth, bass, detail, and speed. When I know I'll only be listening to faster music, like metal, the 7236 is nice. It is faster, has more bass, but isn't quite as warm. The 6AS7G is wonderful at acoustic and orchestral music. It doesn't have the speed of the other tubes, but it's the warmest and most seductive of the group.
