tube for mhdt Paradisea

Interested in peoples observations or recommendations for different tubes for the Paradisea and why.

For example, the Bendix equivalent tube has a good rap but seems to cost more than others ($50 + up). Is it worth it?

Currently, I use the GE 5670 tube that came with the Paradisea and have also tried a NOS Tung Sol equivalent (unmarked so I do not know this for certain) that the seller provided with my unit as well.

How about the Bendix equivalent for $50?

Is it worth $50? What are the improvements?

Sam,

Are you using the Bendix with a Paradisea?

If so, what differences do you hear from the stock GE 5670?

I used to have the Paradisea but sold it and kept the bendix tube. To my ears the Bendix had a fuller more robust sound and a tad more detail. I thought overall it was better.
