Hello all, I just got these valves for not a lot of money, only thing is, I do not know wether they are good, bad or just plain OK.
1. RCA 5751 Black Anode Halo Getter...
2. " " " " Square Getter...
3. Sylvania 5751 Round disc getter
4. 4x RTC 12AX7S Bridge Supported Getters.
Now all that stuff means nothing to me, I only know that I like 5751's and have only heard RTC are a good valve, any info and opinions will be gratefully accepted.

If they sound good, then it's a good score.

Ok, I have tried all the valves, and here are MY findings; SO FAR.
1. RCA 5751 Black Anode Halo Getter... Upper Mid heavy & bright
2. " " " " Square Getter........................ Not as mid heavy, fatter sounding.
3. Sylvania 5751 Round disc getter.......... Bright, but very bland.
4. 4x RTC 12AX7S Bridge Supported Getters. All valves good, but in my amp to bright.
I will try them in combo with each other, also with the Sylvania and Tele I use at the moment.
More to come.[/b]
