Tube Audio vs. Tube Video

[Kamakiri]

Now here's an interesting thought....

Since tube brands obviously matter to people involved in the sport, to the hardcore television people, does the brand of tube make a difference in a television set? Does one brand of tube give better color saturation, or a more crisp picture versus another? Other than positive swing on the test meter, what else do brand-dedicated people look for in a television tube? We all see those BS ads from TV mags from 50 years ago talking about whose tube was best, but what's the real story?

Tube audio guys feel free to chime in here too
