[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 146200, member: 1068"] Not a fan in general. GT and TAD tubes test quiet, but I also see them often have 5-10% less gain than my standard base value for average. Less gain means less noise by default because they amplify less. I also find them overpriced. Also for the record, the GT Mullard is one of the worst preamp tubes ever manufactured quality-wise. Ruby I like. My biggest knock here is they aren't well insulated often and susceptible to pinging or microphonics. Good contact with tube shields help a lot here. Gain is generally better than average but their HG designation is usually lower than my standards. [/QUOTE]
