[net.audio] vacuum tubes

	An article stated that the author was very happy with the
performance of some Hungarian vacuum tubes in his audio equipment and
asked for recommendations of other brands of tubes to try.  When I was
buying Audio Research equipment, the standard tube brand was Amperex;
there seemed no question that these tubes provided better sound than,
say, RCA.  However, a few years later I read in an audiophile magazine
that some people were using Telefunken tubes in ARC equipment; their
claim was that the Telefunkens provided a cleaner, drier sound than
the Amperexes, which had slightly more "warmth."  I would suggest
comparing these brands with the Hungarian tubes.
