Given the fact that both Golden Atlantic and Big 7 are the same price, do they sound equally well? I am referring to the SE version with tube rectifier and volume control. My guess is that with Big 7, you can tube roll and if you put on some very high-end 300B's like the Takatsuki, then the Big 7 could potentially sound better than Golden Atlantic. Is this correct? Does anyone have experience comparing the two? Thanks.

Hello,
While I have not heard the Golden Atlantic in my system, I have done extensive tube rolling in my B7, (300b’s, 45’s, 101d’s, and finally 2a3’s). All had a very significant influence on the sound of my system. I ended up with a set of NOS Sylvania 2a3’s. These provide upper end sparkle, glorious mid range and great bass punch. But, as always, your results may vary. I found this tuning ability a great advantage.
