Ed, do you have any impressions regarding how the 5691 sounds in your GSG? I ran mine for a couple weeks, but just switched back to an old round plate smoked glass RCA 6SL7GT. It seems pretty obvious to me that I prefer the 'SL7 over the 5691. Maybe my 5691 is used up and worn out? It just sounds dull and uninspired in comparison.
"It's a different experience; the noise occlusion, crisp, clear sound, and defined powerful bass. Strong bass does not corrupt the higher frequencies, giving a very different overall feel of the sound, one that is, in my opinion, quite unique."
