[QUOTE="Nightdare, post: 146174, member: 1840"] Yeah I found EH pretty glassy, though not so bad as the Shuguan Then again for some reason the chinese hold up a little better at high(er) gain than the EH ECC83S This one is probably gonna end up in my Triple Giant's lead channel it can definitely use the dark middy character of the tube to remove some fizz and give it a bit more body Yeah it's hard when I only have my ears and my dials, But when I can get the sweet spot in the amount of gain I like with a an AT7 in the RM4's V1 around 1 o'clock on a module with a HG tube in it Compared to a normal AX7 in the V1 of the RM4 and a normal AX7 in the module and having the sweet spot at 1 o'clock I'm willing to think that at least the gain selection is ok I'm not that weary of current quality, so far the only preamp tube to ever fail on me was a NOS 5751 So much for the coveted status of NOS quality My first impression is a "toned down Tung Sol", which may be good in modules/channels that "Bite" too hard but can't use a JJ's dark and subdued character Thanks for the heads up, though I thought the Tung Sols had this problem (too)?
