One thought on “GE 5751 5 Stars Black Plates”
This is a very good tube, it’s actually the best GE tube that I’ve heard :). You get very good bass and mid-range, along with a very good soundstage and great details. It is a 5-Star performer after all. In a blind test that I performed, the GE 5751 5 Stars Black Plates was indistinguishable from the Sylvania JHS 5751, even the construction of the two tubes is extremely similar with only a few differences. Rolling this tube again through another amp proved once more that it is superb, as the sound between these black plates and the JHS or RCA versions is incredibly similar, with only the Gold Brand gray plates standing out from the bunch. This is a very good, very transparent tube.
* Soundstage: Very good spatial depth and separation * Performance: Indistinguishable from top-tier Sylvania JHS 5751 in blind testing * Tonality: Excellent bass and mid-range with impressive transparency * Value: A fantastic alternative if you don’t want to spend $100 on Sylvania Gold Brand
Final Verdict: The GE 5751 5 Stars Black Plates is highly recommended, try this one first and you might be pleasantly surprised by its high-end performance at a better price point.
