Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

45 vs 2A3(again)

"In general in all the Gemini's I have sold, I think proabably 80% have stuck with the 45's. Says what I have always said, it's just a better tube than the 2A3. The TJ 2A3 is nice and that is what the other 20% are using."

Noting your qualifier, in my brief time (3 months) with my Moth s45 I've always returned to the 45 (any 45) over the Sovteks or the RCA (gy) bi-plates. The ST 45s I have include National-Union, Silvertone Super, Arcturus, RCA/Victor. IMS, the 45 is more neutral, analytic and just "real". Even if not the best match IMS, the slight edginess I can get with the 45s is accepted and prefered to the veiled 2a3s. IMS the two outstanding qualities of the 45 are their natural "rightness" and the articulate&propulsive bass. Unlike yourself, I do not have much in the way of Globes, only singles; Triad, RCA, Philco, Arcturus. With this motley crue I've not had a "Globe experience" of merit. Then again, with my speakers I figure I'm pushing my luck with the STs, let alone the Globes. Perhaps...
