Funny, because when I ordered these Psvanes, I thought to myself: "last exotic, fancy tube." Maybe not, but I am heading that way, and one of the reasons was precisely what led me to order the them in the first place: while swapping tubes, I managed to shatter one of the Treasures. So, naturally I went and checked on ordering another set, and learned about the new gray bottles, etc. Took out the 3 working Treasures, and put in the JJ quad. Hmmm, amp sounds great. Effing, of course it sounds great, because it is a great amp! Maybe a tad less micro-detail. Maybe. Maybe a little less oomph in the lower registers, a little less silkiness in female vocals and perfect roundness in piano. Maybe. And maybe not. But I wasn't about to do a full-on listening swap session at the time. And so, as I sat and listened to the JJs, I said to myself: "last exotic, fancy tubes. Maybe."
