Have you actually tried that? I have tried my VT75s on the Quad II and it didn't sound as enticing as the GEC KT66.
----------------------------------------------

Changing the subject a bit. I have actually tried most versions of GEC KT66/VT75 and Mullard EL37 on my Quad II and my personal ranking are (top being the least liking) :

- GEC KT66 brown base smoked glass
- GEC KT66 brown base clear glass circle getter
- GEC KT66 brown base clear glass cup getter
- GEC KT66 black base GT bottle
- GEC KT66/CV1075 black base small ST bottle smoked glass (this could be an OEM Brimar 6L6G/CV1947)
- GEC KT66/VT75 large ST bottle clear glass
- Mullard large bottle EL37
- GEC KT66/VT75 large ST bottle smoked glass

I have yet tried the GEC KT66/VT75 large ST bottle black glass and WE350B.

In general, I found the earlier large ST bottle KT66/VT75 to have a bigger and grander sound stage compare to the GT bottle KT66/VT75. And the Mullard large bottle EL37 has even better resolution but it sounds a bit dark in the Quad II to my taste.

Maybe we should go to Dennis place for a Quad II tube shoot-out someday.

Tim,

Your idea of KT66 shoot-out is really fascinating, and not difficult to manage indeed. It would be my great pleasure and honour providing the QUAD II for the shoot-out

Just give me a shout when ready.

Dennis,

I would need to source a matched quad set of WE350B first.

And they cost more than a pair of Quad II!

Tim,

My goodness. In this case, I must ask some expert to ensure the conditions of the old Hunts capacitors

Sorry about the mistake. I actually suspect that the small ST bottle could be an Tungsram 6L6G.

Tim and Gingers,

The improvement switching from black base KT66 to smoke glass VT75 is substantial enough for a layman like me to tell the difference right from the beginning of any reasonable vocal or orchestra piece of music.

Gingers,

I recall you have a sizeable stock of clear glass VT75. Was it you or DD845?

Tim,

I once thought the old tubes showed up in your photo were found by Dr Indiana Jones or Dr Who from the ancient times.

I started “listening” to music (with heart and soul) only 3 years ago ---- and am still learning…..

For those are cares about their soul. If you go too fast, you better sit down sometimes to make sure your soul can catch up with your body.

Dennis,

Prefer in the late afternoon (say around 5pm or later), so I can accomodate my son after his learning session end at 4pm (and wife) first.

All the Scheherazades. Which one do you like best.

After all these years, Kondrashin and Stokowski are still my favourites.

Ansermet is like mother telling a bed-time story. Softly but with a lot of fantasies. Reiner is like watching an Indiana Jones movie, exciting but not inducing any imagination, everything's there. Jansons, the conductor introduced to me by doctorjohn, came as a nice surprise.

Myung-Whun Chung is now playing on the ESL.

Holy maloney! That's enough stories for a lifetime!

Reiner in general is much more listenable on LP than CD. For alternatives I'd nominate:

-Celibidache
-Lovro von Matacic

Finished.

Myung-Whun Chung's Scheherazade proved to be excellent. The accompanying Firebird is not as brilliant though.

Jazz a little with Ben Webster and Oscar Peterson before dismantling feikeung's Graaf GM20.
