    Default What percentage of reviewers are high as F on crack?

    I mean airplanes fly at 9,000ft.
    The space station is 254 miles.
    The Hubble is 353 miles.
    And vacuum tube reviewers make those hights seem like standing on a kitchen step ladder to clean the top of the refrigerator!
    There so high there suckin in dark matter!

    Got an example? Being a Valve fan, I am interested in where this is going!

    I have the Genelax B59 ,Tungsol gold pins and standard Tung sols and these reviews could not be more wrong unless hearing them in a Dac has a totally different character .
    I decided not to post the review in question as I don't need a law suit.

    That's a guitar players thread. Of course all good rock'n'roll guitarists are utterly fucked on drugs. It's traditional.

    So no issues I can see.

    The Tung sol Gold pin is voiced the same as the standard reissue but has a little more sparkle at the top .
    It is not voiced completely different ,they are the same tube pretty much rolling both right now.

    Post #3 link removed.

    Don't try and use guitar threads for valve reviews.

    They are much more interested in how a valve works when it is overloaded to the extreme.

    Hi-fi amps operate them with reasonable limits.

    How a valve breaks up and it's tone when overloaded is far more interesting to them.

    The only difference I can see is gold pins and a small plate getter vs. halo getter, gold vs. white lettering.
    But there is no huge difference in voicing between these tubes
    I'm pretty sure the getter does not re voice a valve.

    The B59 is far less dynamic and the whole presentation seems further away and slightly rolled off.
    The B59 is like an upgraded Sovtek LPS is my best description.
    The Tung sol is fantastic for music with soul, The B59 was made for Diana Krall I will say that.
    The tung sol is great for guitars,piano brushes on a snare drum and detailed recordings, not just focused on vocals.

    Martin I didn't leave the post for even 5 min. as I could see the reviewer getting mad and sueing me for for my crack comment so I nixed it.
    Even though I am sure it was his honest opinion and not under substances. I guess a guitar review would be a different animal but it just seems to me there would not be such a huge difference in tone from the same tube.
