    Default Tubes/Characteristics

    Is there a website that outlines the different characteristics of the common tubes used in pre-amps and amplifiers?

    For a Tube Newb it is a bit over whelming.

    I don't know if I am ready to start rolling, but I am curious.

    Prices on 5751's have skyrocketed since that was posted. Probably because it was posted ;) Great resource!

    Yeah, I enjoy it too...even though it's just one guys opinion. It's well written, unbiased and pretty comprehensive.
