I'm trying to decide what tubes to try out in the Paradisea Dac. Can you guys give me the run down on the differences in sound of these tubes?

For example how do they compare to the WE 396A. Clearer or rounded highs, better/less bass and cleaner or more opaque midrange.

Thanks for any help!

Here's a few I've been looking over 5670 Tungsol, Raytheon, Sylvania, RCA any others please advise.

there are several impressions.  Right now I'm using a 2C51 Bendix Red Bank from the 50's - I like it right now

Thanks..yeah I posted in that thread. I did go back through it looking for impressions. I did find a few. I went a head and ordered the WE396a tube. The prices on these vary quite a bit. Some of those prices are ridiculous! I also ordered a Paradisea Dac..it should all be here next week.  If one NON OS DAC wasn't enough. I probably won't use it till the Reference Promitheus TVC arrives.

Where can I find the 2C51 Bendix Red Bank?
