[QUOTE="Hamner1, post: 77573, member: 2450"] OK I got a silver face SL+ (2002) from cold Machine today. Here are my thoughts after about 30 minutes of A/B them. Gain: Silver plate has more gain. They seem to be similar when the silver plate is set at noon & the black plate is at about 2 o'clock. This may be an illusion though (see bass notes). Bass: Silver plate has more bass than the Black plate SL+. This seems to give it more umph than the Black plate. This may also lead to the perception of more gain in the silver plate. Although I could be wrong. Mids: Black plate has a pronouned high mid voicing compared to the Silver plate. Treble: No distinguishable difference. With that being said, the brief time I had with them so far, I could not dial in the Silver plate to nail the Black plate tone. Maybe thats possible, but it will have to wait for another day to tweak & play around. I liked the Silverplate more when rolling back the volume to get a clean or cleanish tone. The Black plate just seemed to get thinner sounding than the Silver plate for this. Eventually I will play around with putting a 12AU7 in V1 of each to see what that yields. [/QUOTE]
