This is strictly my opinion, but over the past 50 years of using tubes, I always prefer the larger glass over the smaller, when applicable.
IMHO, the larger the glass, the more "tubey" it will sound.
I just replaced a regular 5AU4 with a Flare version and it really did sound much more tube like.

- Agreed... Quite clearly (pun intended) a glass ST 6J5 is superior to a metal - Cleantimestream 05:08:20 06/15/24 (0)
