Thanks, Geek. My tube rolling experience was with the same tube type in a Steelhead, so having tried Mullard gold pins, Siemens NOS and Tele NOS, the Tele was by far the best sounding tube= holographic mids, but not lush sounding. Granted, the circuits are no doubt different, but to the extent one could extrapolate, the Tele made a dramatic difference in the sound of my phono stage.
