“I would jump up and down on a coffee table and shout that the RT EL39 is the best pentode ever made, and it ain’t even close “  :lol:

Figured this would stir up a hornet’s nest!

Got my popcorn!

A hornet's nest of unspecified best.

I prefer inexpensive tubes and spend money on a good output transformer, a good transformer may last 20 years or more. These celebrated US tubes usualy lasts 2000 hours or 2 years.
