Tungsol 5U4G/VT244 top getter - the best all around, very sweet, great bass. Magical.Tungsol 5U4G bottom getter - runner up, not quite as good.
KenRad VT-244/5U4G bottom getter - great tube, good bass, nice highs.
Sylvania 5U4G/VT-244 bottom getter 1940's - good tube top to bottom.
RCA 5U4G - pretty much the same as the Sylvanias...
Raytheon VT-244 1940's small bottom getter - very nice warm tube, not the deepest bass, but very mellow quality.
Tungsol 5U4GB - excellent tube, warm with rocking bass, the best of the GB types, might even be better than any G type.
Sylvania 5931 - very cool good sounding tube, runner up to the Tungsol 5U4GB.
GEC U52 - overrated cold sounding tube, weak bass.
Mullard 5U4G 70's - also over-rated, the Mullard GZ37 sounds better as a 5U4G sub.
