Re: Raytheon 5814

Hi, I have tried a couple of the Euros that Milos listed and one he didn't. The Siemens 3 mica silver plate were the best of the Euros.
The Mazda silver plate E82CC (6189) were very close to the Siemens (I don't know if I could hear the difference blindfolded). The Siemens may be a tiny bit more refined. I have both the Raytheon 2 and 3 mica blackplate square getter. I prefer either of these to the Euros IMS. The 2 mica a lusher tube the three mica is better at pace, speed. I preferred the 3 mica IMS as I was getting plenty of lushness from the 7 PW 6922's and Sylvania 5751 BP 3M SG. I ended up using E80CC's (Tungsram) which are better than all the many 12AU7/E82CC/ECC82/6189/5963 types I have tried. The 5963's are a great bargain. They best 90% of the other types I tried.
